Does anyone know anything about rhyme scheme?

Question: Does anyone know anything about rhyme scheme!?

Any simple way to explain it!? It'd help better if there were some kind of video on it, because I'm more a visual learner!. Can't find any though!. It's probably really simple, but I just don't seem to get it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not hard!. If you can figure out how to use YA, you can understand this!.

The last syllable (or sometimes, the last whole word) in each line of a poem as a particular sound, and some other syllables rhyme with it!. Bee rhymes with gee, he, knee, brie, tree, three, and so on, right!? Baby rhymes with maybe, pickle with nickel, etc!.

The first line's last syllable is marked with an A!. The A stands for the first thing which can be rhymed in rhyming poetry!.

The second line either ends with a rhyme for the end of the first line, being another A, or it doesn't, and therefore becomes a B, the second syllable which can be rhymed!.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves [A, the "oves" sound]
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: [B, since it doesn't end with "oves" but with "abe"]
All mimsy were the borogoves, [A]
And the mome raths outgrabe!.[B]

So the rhyme scheme here is ABAB

A longer one, AABCDAA:
As I was going to St!. Ives, [A]
I met a man with seven wives!.[A]
Each wife had seven sacks,[B]
Each sack had seven cats,[C]
Each cat had seven kits!.[D]
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,[A]
How many were going to St!. Ives!?[A]

I hope that makes sense to you now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This will be hard to type an explanation!.
Rhyme scheme can be explained with numbers!.
Like:

Roses are red (1)
Violets are blue!.(2)
I can't wait till the day we wed!.(1)
Our life is waiting on cue!. (2)

"Red" and "Wed" rhyme and they're both 1's in the poem!.
"Blue" and "Cue" rhyme and they're both 2's in the poem!.

Although,it doesn't have to be in that order,and there can be more than just two numbers!.So it could be!.!.!.

(1)(1)(2)(2)

(1)(1)(2)(3)(3)(2)

But,whatever way you put it,doesn't matter!.
