Study Notes
Rhyme
- Rhyme occurs when the endings of two words sound alike
- The initial consonant sounds are different in a rhyme
- Examples of rhyme: sing-ring, ball-tall
- A word cannot rhyme by itself; rhymes must be in pairs
- Some words are more similar in sound than others (e.g., slant rhyme)
- Rhyme is a common element of poetry, often associated with rhyming line endings
- Rhyme is about the sounds of words, not their spelling
- Identical rhyme (homophones) occur when words sound alike but are spelled differently (e.g., son-sun)
- Some words that are spelled the same might have different pronunciations and thus do not rhyme (e.g., move-love)
- Eye rhyme is an exception; its spelling matches but the sounds differ (e.g. love-move)
Types of Rhyme: Position
- End rhyme: Words at the end of lines rhyme
- Example: "The woods are lovely, dark, and deep"
- Example: "Once upon a midnight dreary..."
- Internal rhyme: Words inside a line rhyme with words at the end of the same line
- Example: "The wedding guest, he beat his breast."
Types of Rhyme: Quality of Sound
- Exact rhyme (perfect rhyme): Words ending sounds exactly the same, even if spelled differently. They often have the same number of syllables and stress is on the same syllable.
- Example: Moon-soon, Earth-birth, June-soon
- Slant rhyme (off-rhyme, near rhyme, half or imperfect rhyme): Sounds are similar but not identical.
- Vowel sounds differ, but consonant sounds are similar
- Rhyming words have different numbers of syllables
- Example: Sun-soon, green-grain, heat-hate, hair-whore
- Eye rhyme: Words are spelled similarly but sound differently
- Examples: Tough-dough, Idea-flea
- Mosaic rhyme: Two or more words are needed for the rhyme to have a similar amount of syllables
- Example: disguise-these skies
Types of Rhyme: Counting Syllables
- Monosyllabic rhyme: One-syllable words
- Example: fall-call, sing-ring
- Polysyllabic rhyme: More than one-syllable words
- Example: divorce-remorse, today-repay
Masculine Rhyme
- Masculine rhyme - one syllable rhyme ending words
- Example: fall-call, sing-ring
- Polysyllabic masculine rhyme : stressed on the last syllable of the word
- Example: divorce-remorse, today-repay
Feminine Rhyme
- Feminine rhyme: multiple syllables, stressed on a syllable other than the last syllable of the word.
- Example: singing-ringing , falling-calling
Cross Rhyme
- A word in the middle or end of one line rhymes with a word in the middle or end of another line
- Example: But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token...
Alliteration
- Repetition of the same starting consonant sound in a line
- Example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers...
Other
- "Tyger, Tyger, burning bright" is a poem by William Blake.
- "Three Rings” is an example of alliteration with elements of rhyme.
