But What About Rhyme?

Types of Rhyme: Perfect Rhyme Perfect rhymes can be classified according to the number of syllables included in the rhyme, which is dictated by the location of the final stressed syllable. masculine: a rhyme in which the stress is on the final syllable of the words (rhyme, sublime) feminine: a rhyme in which the stress is on the penultimate (second from last) syllable of the words (picky, tricky) dactylic: a rhyme in which the stress is on the antepenultimate (third from last) syllable (cacophonies, Aristophanes)

But wait, there's more!

Types of Rhyme: General Rhyme syllabic: a rhyme in which the last syllable of each word sounds the same but does not necessarily contain stressed vowels. (cleaver, silver, or pitter, patter; the final syllable of the words bottle and fiddle are /l/, a liquid consonant.) imperfect (or near): a rhyme between a stressed and an unstressed syllable. (wing, caring) weak (or unaccented): a rhyme between two sets of one or more unstressed syllables. (hammer, carpenter) semirhyme: a rhyme with an extra syllable on one word. (bend, ending) forced (or oblique): a rhyme with an imperfect match in sound. (green, fiend; one, thumb)

Types of Rhyme: General Rhyme (cont.) assonance: matching vowels. (shake, hate) Assonance is sometimes referred to as slant rhymes, along with consonance. consonance: matching consonants. (rabies, robbers) half rhyme (or slant rhyme): matching final consonants. (bent, ant) pararhyme: all consonants match. (tell, tall) alliteration (or head rhyme): matching initial consonants. (ship, short)

No, we don't think of many of these examples as “rhyme.”

Eye Rhyme Eye rhymes or sight rhymes or spelling rhymes refer to similarity in spelling but not in sound. The final sounds are spelled identically but pronounced differently. Examples in English: cough, bough, and love, move.

Mind Rhyme Mind rhyme is a kind of substitution rhyme, but is “heard” only when generated by a specific verse context. For instance, “this sugar is neat / and tastes so sour.” If a reader or listener thinks of the word “sweet” instead of “sour,” then a mind rhyme has occurred.
