Does rhyming in articles sound unprofessional?

If an occasional rhyme happens naturally, it actually can help the flow of an article. If it is done a lot, then it is distracting. Alliteration and rhyming are often used to great effect by speakers and they work well in certain types of writing too.

 

They are also used in certain headlines to grab attention. The problem is in many cases the techniques are over-used. I think it can still work though, if you execute it well.

 

Excessive rhyming may not convey the actual matter some times.

I just thought I'll try this (I've tried blogging before but just couldn't stick to it)

If you guys want to help me out on a couple of issues regarding this, please come here:

There is nothing wrong till it makes sense
if you introduce senselss riming words
then it makes poem rather than article

 

That's a great title! Writing is supposed to have rhythm, like music. The best literary writers and professors break it down to a fine science, have 10 different big-word, intellectual names for the different types of 'beats.'

It's a little scary how deep they study it, but it's a good thing if it comes naturally for you. The thing is, when people read your material, it should have a smooth flow to the inner ear/mind. Your title accomplishes this nicely.

 

This is so true. I was an editor before I became a copywriter. My colleagues and I just laugh at the corrections made by the computer software, especially corrections made by Microsoft Word. Always research and use dictionaries and grammar sites to check your writing.

 

There are good writing books out that discuss in detail how writers can more intentionally capitalize on word patterns this way. Might be a good idea to look into it - and do more of it. Not precise 'rhyming' throughout an entire article -- that would be weird unless you're intentionally trying to entertain with poetry. But paying attention to the cadence of each sentence, and listening (to fix) those which break the flow.

 

i think seing ryhmes in eboks wud be wierd

 

I really find no reason for you to feel bad about it. KISS- Keep It Simple Stupid, even if that means you have a rhyming sound(s) in your write up
