I need help figuring out the rhyme scheme to Anne bradstreets poem "to her father with some verses"
I saw a previous post where you said the answer was : aabbccddeeffggaabbccddeeffgg there are only 14 lines in the poem.
I think the answer is: aabbccddeeffgg
Can you explain why?
Thank you
Yes. You're right.
Ok. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome.
Cassie, the reason why that poem has 14 lines and that particular rhyme scheme is because it's a sonnet.

Sure! To determine the rhyme scheme of a poem, you need to look at the end sounds of each line. In the case of Anne Bradstreet's poem "To Her Father with Some Verses," you are correct that there are 14 lines.
To determine the rhyme scheme, we assign a different letter of the alphabet to each unique end sound. In this poem, the rhyme scheme is indeed aabbccddeeffgg.
Let's break it down further:
- The first two lines end with words that rhyme, so we assign them the letter "a."
- The next two lines also end with rhyming words, so they receive the letter "b."
- The following two lines have a different end sound, so they receive the letter "c."
- This pattern continues until the 14th line, resulting in the rhyme scheme aabbccddeeffgg.
So yes, you are correct about the rhyme scheme of the poem. Remember that the letters assigned to each line's end sound represent the different rhyming patterns.
