Rhyme and Sound Devices

  • Rhyme refers to the correspondence of sounds between different words, typically at the end of those words.

  • End Rhyme occurs when rhymes are found at the end of lines in poetry.

  • Masculine Rhyme features a single stressed syllable at the end of the rhyme; it is typically strong and definitive.

  • External Rhyme is identified when the rhyming words occur at the ends of different lines within a poem.

  • Internal Rhyme involves repetition of sounds within a single line, contributing to the poem's unity and flow.

  • Slant Rhyme contains a partial sound correspondence, often sharing similar consonants but differing in vowel sounds; it is not a perfect rhyme.

  • Example of Slant Rhyme:

    • “I met a traveler from an antique land, / Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone…”

  • Eye Rhyme consists of words that appear visually similar but do not rhyme when pronounced; this can create an illusion of rhyme in poetry.
