Tuggin' The Luggin' (A Sweater for all Types of Weather)

End Rhyme is when a poem has a word at the end of one line that rhymes with a word at the end of a different line. In the song, "Time" by Pink Floyd, the lines, " Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day/You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way," are examples of end rhyme because "day" and "way" rhyme. In the poem, "The Silken Tent" by Robert Frost, the lines, "She as in a field of silken tent/Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent" the words "tent" and "relent" rhyme at the end of each line. In the poem, "Devotion" by Robert Frost, the lines, "The heart can think of no devotion/Greater than being shore to ocean" have end rhyme n them. The words "devotion" and "ocean" rhyme.
My Poem:
Springtime
.
I see a robin
playing in the leaves,
I see a chipmonk
in the trees.
.
I see the sun
way up high,
I see the clouds
rolling by.
.
I see a flower
on the ground,
I see Springtime
all around.
