In poetry, internal rhyme, or middle rhyme, is rhyme which occurs within a single line of verse. Can happen within any type of rhyme and in music pieces.

A rhyme is a repetition of identical or similar sounds in two or more different words and is most often used in poetry. ... Verse is a writing that uses meter as its primary organisational mode, as opposed to prose, which uses grammatical and discoursal units like sentences and paragraphs. ...
Examples
True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins,
I pour a Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane
Another form of internalrhyme has a word in the middle of one line rhyming with the the word at the end of a different line; this is sometimes called cross rhyme - which is liable to be confused with cross-rhyme, a particular kind of 4-line stanza.
One particular form of cross rhyme, in which the word at the end of one line rhymes with a line in the middle of the next, is common in Irish poetry, where it is known as aicill rhyme.
Rhyming a word in the middle of one line with a word in the middle of another is called interlaced rhyme.
