Question

What is the rhyme scheme of the following poem:

The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.
As long as it takes to pass
A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull.

AABBCCDD

Answer 1

The answer is ABABCDCD as the two lines that rhyme are equal to the same letter. E.g. Line 1 and Line 3 both end with a word that rhyme with each other and the Line 1 is the first line of the poem, resulting it in being represented by A. The same thing applies to the rest of the poem

I hope that makes some sense :)
