Rhyme scheme is the repetition or arrangement of similar sounds in a poem or stanza. While most poems have some type of rhyme scheme this one does not.

of Sir Lancelot, serves as an almost-alibi for the Lady’s breaking of her curse to follow him later in the poem. Even the writer Tennyson seems to agree, as he breaks his perfect repetition of the words “Camelot” and “Shalott” for the first time in the poem, replacing “Shalott” with “Lancelot”.

We think that poetry is a work with short lines, rhythm, perhaps some rhyme, and a lot of white space, yet many poems do not follow this formula.
