We have to think about the number of syllables in each sentence and where to put the rhyme. Count the number of syllables in each line and write it next to the line. How many are the same number? Underline the words that rhyme and connect them. My witch's teeth are sharp as

Explanation:

To make a poem and to this, to rhyme, we have to use in every line almost the same number of syllables. The other thing that we have to take into consideration is that some words in the lines have to have similar sounds for them to rhyme, like the words curse and worse.

When we write our line, we have to make sure to have a similar number of syllables and words that rhyme.
