Writing poetry is a fascinating thing, especially if you were born a poet to whom this creativity is a joy. Now it has become fashionable to give poetry assignments at school. And who will help children in primary grades do this? The answer is obvious - of course, loving parents.
The method of selecting rhyme
For example, how to choose a rhyme for the word "understand"? First, consider the meaning of the word. What does it mean to understand, whom to understand, with whom and what to understand. The ending should be, like the original word, that is, the presence of the letters "T" and "b" is simply necessary.
Usually, words that rhyme with others are arranged symmetrically throughout the poem, and picking up a rhyme is not so easy. Even if the word is simple, it does not always alternate with other words.
For example, how to choose a rhyme for the word "understand." It is advisable to immediately pick up the exact rhyme, but which would continue the idea of the work. By the word "understand" you can find many analogues, for example:
- Take away.
- Take off.
- To drive.
- To accept.
- To drive.
- Drop.
- Frighten.
- Want.
The words “drive” and “drop” are exact rhymes, they change only one letter. In this case, the letter “P” changes to “G” and “P”.
Writing poetry
In the process of searching for rhyme, you do not need to grab the first word that comes across, it is advisable to work out several versions of the poem. In order not to be scared and not to despair, not knowing how to choose a rhyme for the word "understand" or for other words, you can use the dictionaries of the great scientists Ozhegov, Dahl, turn to morphological dictionaries. But we must not forget that poetry is written in the mood and not always rhyme dominates them.
Nosov has a funny story about Dunno, who picked up the rhyme “herring” to the word “stick”. The fact is that Dunno is not to blame, his friend Tsvetik incorrectly explained the essence of rhyme to him. In rhyme, the main thing is not the ending (the words "stick" and "herring" end in KA), but that the rhymed words sound the same. A significant role in this is played by that vowel on which the stress falls. Therefore, knowing the rhyme for the word "understand", you can compose a rhyme:
It's easy to understand me
Chasing me is not necessary.
Drop flowers in the window
Our cat wants.
A fifth-grader can compose a similar rhyme if he learns the techniques of composing rhymes. Children should know that rhymes are different: masculine (with emphasis on the last syllable), feminine (with emphasis on the penultimate syllable), dactyl and hyperdactyl, where the emphasis is placed on the third or fourth from the end syllables.
The words "understand", "accept", "forgive" have an accent on the last syllable, therefore, rhymes for them must be selected for men. For example: understand - appease, forgive - treat, accept - impute and so on.
This is a fascinating process that takes place at school and which then is not forgotten all my life.
