To determine the rhyme scheme pattern of a poem, you need to analyze the end rhymes in each stanza. In this case, we have a four-line stanza. Let's examine the end words of each line:
The giant walks along the beach - A
He takes his cat along with him - B
But careful he is to make sure each - A
Don’t get lost when the sun sets dim - B
From the above analysis, we can see that the first and third lines rhyme with each other (A), and the second and fourth lines rhyme with each other (B). Therefore, the rhyme scheme pattern for this poem is ABAB.
