Poetry: rhyme and rhythm, sentence 3

A rhyme must still make sense: "The sea is blue, I like a shoe" rhymes, but the shoe wandered in only for the sound; good poets choose the meaning first and hunt for a rhyme that fits it.

Who acts: rhyme, sea, I, shoe, good poets · What happens: make, be, like, wander, choose, hunt · To what, where: sense, shoe rhymes, meaning

This is a sentence of the lesson «Poetry: rhyme and rhythm» of the english course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (rhyme, sea, I, shoe), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
