5.3.3.3 Deviation from end rhyme
In some situations a poet settles for a deviation from his or her intended rhyme
scheme. The examples shown in Table 22 all show some sort of deviation. In the first
example, ji me does not rhyme even one of its syllables with the two-syllable rhymes of
jenî and renî. It does, however, rhyme the last syllable, me, with the last syllable of even
number lines in the poem (not shown), which is not customary for this verse form. In the
second example, the intended rhyme is two syllables; however, it seems Sindî settled on
rhyming only the final syllable in darî with kê yî and befrê yî. In the last example, Sindî
again settled for rhyming only the last syllable, in this instance ka in biçwîka, with
neyara, hara and xwîndara.

5.3.3.4 Head rhyme, internal rhyme and interlaced rhyme
biçwîka
Occasionally a poet of Neo-classical poetry is inspired to rhyme at the beginning
of two or more lines. Such occasions are termed head rhyme, which is simply defined as
a rhyme that occurs “at the beginnings of lines” (Turco 2000:49). Head rhyme, which is
also called front rhyme or initial rhyme, is not to be confused with alliteration, which is
“the repetition of initial stressed consonant sounds” (Turco 2000:54).
In lines 30 and 31 of his poem Duhî Spêdê Liser Banî, ‘Yesterday Morning On
The Rooftop,’ shown in example (182), Nalbend rhymed at the third syllable from the
beginning of the lines with ewê dil and miqabil. Also within these lines is the rhyme of
