Answer:

Rhyme is the correspondence of sound between words, especially when these are used at the ends of lines of poetry. Rhythm is the measured flow of words and phrases as measured by the relation of long and short or stressed and unstressed syllables.

Answer:

Rhyme is the correspondence of sound between words, especially when these are used at the ends of lines of poetry. Rhythm is the measured flow of words and phrases as measured by the relation of long and short or stressed and unstressed syllables. Beats within poetry represent the rhythm, sound, meter and rhyme of the entire piece of poetry. There are many different types of beats the poet can use as well as different types of meters used to write poetry.
