![]() In poetics these would be considered identity, rather than rhyme. If it extends all the way to the beginning of the line, so that there are two lines that sound very similar or identical, it is called a holorhyme ("For I scream/For ice cream"). The rhyme may extend even farther back than the last stressed vowel. Punning rhymes, such as bare and bear are also identical rhymes. An example of such a super-rhyme or "more than perfect rhyme" is the identical rhyme, in which not only the vowels but also the onsets of the rhyming syllables are identical, as in gun and begun. If the sound preceding the stressed vowel is also identical, the rhyme is sometimes considered to be inferior and not a perfect rhyme after all. As stated above, in a perfect rhyme the last stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical in both words. Though homophones and homonyms satisfy the first condition for rhyming-that is, that the stressed vowel sound is the same-they do not satisfy the second: that the preceding consonant be different. Identical rhymes are considered less than perfect in English poetry but are valued more highly in other literatures such as, for example, rime riche in French poetry. alliteration (or head rhyme): matching initial consonants.half rhyme (or slant rhyme): matching final consonants.( sh ake, h ate) Assonance is sometimes referred to as slant rhymes, along with consonance. forced (or oblique): a rhyme with an imperfect match in sound.semirhyme: a rhyme with an extra syllable on one word.weak (or unaccented): a rhyme between two sets of one or more unstressed syllables.imperfect (or near): a rhyme between a stressed and an unstressed syllable.( cleaver, silver, or pitter, patter the final syllable of the words bottle and fiddle is /l/, a liquid consonant.) ![]()
