Abstract

This Essay, in addition to Literary masters' descriptions of rhyme and its literary, artistic, and musical value in Persian poetry, emphasizes that rhyme, as a part of poet’s vocabulary and a word taken from criterion language, has its stylistic role as well. The stylistic distinction of a poet is shown by his/her unconscious choice of harmonious and rhythmic words as rhyme. This stylistic distinction is partly related to the stylistic characters of a poet as well as his period style. This can, in turn, lead to the prominence of his/her poetry. Since there isn’t any attention to rhyme stylistics in the researches of contemporary literary masters, in this essay, samples of rhyme stylistic function in different periods have been represented for masters’ attention.
