What is the rhyme scheme of the poem Still I Rise?

1 Answer

  1. The rhyme scheme of the poem is not consistent and it alternates. First three stanzas’ scheme is ABCB. Then it changes to ABCC in third stanza and the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th stanzas are again in ABCB scheme. The 8th stanza’s scheme is AACC and the last stanza ends like a sermon where the line “I rise” is repeated three times.
