Hear the rhyme: /aɪf/

Life has fewer common perfect rhymes than many short words. Wildlife can work when its final syllable carries enough emphasis. Do not force a word that changes the meaning of your line.

Try these lines aloud

A quieter life / with less strife.

A little wildlife / brings the garden to life.

Your turn

Write two lines about a peaceful day, ending with life and strife.

Start by saying one rhyme word on the fourth beat. Once the timing feels comfortable, add a short beginning to make a complete line.
