What is the best rhyme scheme for case in poetry?
ABAB or AABB schemes work naturally with "case," especially in narrative or confessional poetry. The word's weight suits longer lines; try pairing it with end-stopped lines for finality.

Songwriter Pro Tip

Don't default to "case/chase" or "case/place." Instead, pair "case" with an unexpected near-rhyme like "ghost" or "cost" to signal emotional complexity. Better yet, use "case" mid-line as a setup word ("In case the world forgets...") rather than always as a rhyme end—it creates conditional vulnerability that feels earned, not forced. This technique shifts the listener's attention to what follows rather than the rhyme itself.
