AAAAABBA Poetry

AAAAABBA poems follow a specific rhyme scheme where six lines share the same end rhyme (A), and the seventh and eighth lines introduce a new rhyme (B). This pattern creates strong cohesion and musicality, often used in playful or lyrical poetry to emphasize repetition before a final contrast.

Corner-Of-The-Street

by A. A. Milne

‘Corner Of the Street’ by A.A. Milne is a short poem about the excitement of a child as they go to a meeting point at the corner of a street.

This poem uses a very simple AAAAABBA rhyming scheme. As a poem that is written for very young children, this helps to make it more engaging and easy to follow. Without a regular meter to it, this also gives it a musical sense of rhythm that helps to keep young children more interested in what they are reading. It will also help them with learning, as they will understand that these words all end in the same sound.

Down by the corner of the street

Where the three roads meet,

And the feet

Of the people as they pass go ‘Tweet-tweet-tweet—’
