Which type of poem has rhyme as one its identifying characteristics?

There are many types of poems that use rhyme, but the most common and general category is rhymed poetry.

Here are some examples of types of rhymed poetry:

* Sonnets: 14 lines with a specific rhyme scheme (usually ABAB CDCD EFEF GG)

* Ballad: Often tells a story with a simple rhyme scheme (usually ABAB or ABCB)

* Limerick: Five-line humorous poem with a specific rhyme scheme (AABBA)

* Free Verse: While not strictly rhymed, free verse can utilize rhyme for emphasis or effect.

It's important to remember that not all poems with rhyme fit neatly into a single category. Many types of poetry allow for variations in rhyme scheme, or even have no set rhyme scheme at all.
