multisyllable A' and A'' rhymes. The single syllable B rhymes rhyme with the
multisyllable B' lines.
In his poem Gutgutik, ‘Rumors,’ Şaban Silêman, a younger author whose earliest
poems are dated in the year 2000, also used a varied rhyme scheme without holding to
any particular verse form or syllable count. Below is a portion from the poem. Again, for
ease of viewing, I have italicized the rhymed syllables and provided letters designating
the rhymes. Note that rhymes C and F exhibit multisyllabic rhyming sequence, as
discussed in § 5.3.3.1.3.

5.3.3.2 End rhyme in final lines of a prose poem
In a prose poem (also called “free verse”) by Sindî the final rhymes, shown in
example (181), seem to be intentional. The poem is a reflection about two very different
times, the present, not being at all what the poet would have desired for his people, and
the past, a time when he was filled with hope. The rhymed ending may serve to
aesthetically reinforce the contrast between the times and point the reader/hearer to the
past when the hope of the people was greater—a time when rhyme and line length, and
perhaps meter, in poetry were more customary.
