The sentences should be about the same topic or idea.
Each sentence should have the same rhythm ( number of beats).
Yesterday we went to the park. ( this has 8 beats)
We had fun and stayed until dark. ( this also has 8 beats)
**** Both sentences are about going to the park. Both rhyme at the END.
We ran across the street.( 6 beats). They rhyme at the end but
I want a treat. (4 beats) the beats do not match
and they are not about the same idea.
