Poetry, like any other forms of literature, has it’s elements. One of these elements is rhyme.

Rhyme refers to the repetition of sounds within different words, end sound, middle or beginning. It is important to note, however, that rhymes do not always occur between two successive lines of verse.

A “rhyme scheme” is a way of describing the pattern of end rhymes in a poem. Each new sound at the end of a line is given a letter, starting with “A”, then “B” and so on. If an end sound repeats the end sound of an earlier line, it gets the same letter as the earlier line just like the given examples:
