It probably depends on the reference point. If I now use 4 words (2*2 rhyming words) instead of passphrases with 2 words, then the password is more secure than before (even if the attacker knows for sure that I use a rhyming password). Besides, there is the rhyme scheme, which is not necessarily known to the attacker.

The idea is fun. I'm just not sure it helps much in practice. If I can't remember the exact words, the rhyme makes me only marginally less lost than without it.
