monorhyme

Monorhyme is a passage, stanza, or entire poem in which all lines have the same end rhyme. The term "monorhyme" describes the use of one (mono) type of repetitious sound (rhyme). This is common in Arabic, Persian, Latin and Welsh work, such as The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, e.g., qasida and its derivative kafi.

Some styles of monorhyme use the end of a poem's line to utilize this poetic tool. The Persian ghazal poetry style places the monorhyme before the refrain in a line. This is seen in the poem "Even the Rain" by Agha Shahid Ali: "What will suffice for a true-love knot? Even the rain? '' But he has bought grief's lottery, bought even the rain."
