Sporadic rhyme or occasional rhyme has an unpredictable pattern with mostly unrhymed lines. The most familiar and widely-used form of rhyming is perfect rhyme , in which the stressed syllables of the words, along with all subsequent syllables, share identical sounds, as in "pencil" and "stencil.
However, there are actually a variety of other types of rhymes, such as imperfect rhyme or slant rhyme , which also involve the repetition of similar sounds but in ways that are not quite as precise as perfect rhyme. Most people, when they think about what constitutes a rhyme, are actually thinking about one type of rhyme in particular, called perfect rhyme , which only includes words with identical sounds like "game" and "tame," or "table" and "fable.
Not only are there many different types of rhyme, there are also many different ways of categorizing the different types of rhymes. The sections that follow cover all the different ways there are to categorize of rhyme. Perfect rhymes and imperfect rhymes are two important types of rhyme that are defined according to the sounds that they share as well as where the rhyme falls in relation to the stressed syllable in each word that is, the syllable that receives the emphasis, such as "fine" in the word "de- fine ".
Here's the definition of each, with examples:. Another way of classifying types of rhymes focuses more on sound than it does on stressed syllables:. In addition to the categories above, which describe rhymes based on the types of sounds they have in common, rhymes can also be described by their location within a line of poetry.
These categories are generally used in conjunction with the categories we've already covered, not instead of them. So, for instance, a certain rhyme might be described as "internal pararhyme," or "identical end rhyme. Rhymes aren't only classified by whether their stressed syllables rhyme.
They can also be classified according to location of the stressed syllables within the rhymed words:. In formal verse which is the name given to rhymed poetry that uses a strict meter , end rhymes typically repeat according to a pattern called a rhyme scheme.
Rhyme schemes are described using letters of the alphabet, so that each line of verse that corresponds to a specific type of rhyme used in the poem is assigned a letter, beginning with "A. Although all formal verse poems have some sort of rhyme scheme, certain forms of poetry have a pre-determined rhyme scheme, such as the sonnet or the villanelle.
Poets wanting to write such poems have to match the rhyme scheme they use to that defined by the type of poem in question. Each rhyme in this famous sonnet by Milton is an example of perfect rhyme words whose stressed syllables share identical sounds, as well as all sounds that follow the stressed syllable. His state Is Kingly. Poe's famous poem uses internal rhyme in addition to end rhyme —and also makes heavy use of alliteration. Examples of alliteration are bolded , while examples of internal rhyme are high lighted.
Once upon a midnight dreary , w hile I pondered, w eak and w eary , Over many a q uaint and c urious volume of forgotten lore— While I n odded, n early n apping , suddenly there came a tapping , As of some one gently r apping , r apping at my chamber door.
Eye rhymes rhymes that sound different but use the same spelling are far more common in English verse prior to the 19th century, when the convention fell out of favor with many writers. Also worth nothing is that many older examples of eye rhyme occur not because the author originally intended them but because the way that words are pronounced changes over time. All men make faults, and even I in this, Authorizing thy trespass with comp are , Myself corrupting salving thy amiss, Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are This poem by W.
Yeats gives an example of slant rhyme , since "moon" and "on" don't rhyme perfectly but end in the same consonant, while "bodies" and "ladies" don't use the same sounds in their stressed syllables, but end with identical unstressed syllables. Here are the first four lines of the poem:. When have I last looked on The round green eyes and the long wavering bodies Of the dark leopards of the moon?
All the wild witches, those most noble ladies. It's pretty common for songwriters to use slant rhymes in addition to perfect rhymes —especially in rap. This track by Big Daddy Kane gives an expert example of complex rhyme that makes use of dactylic as well as double slant rhyme.

The heat is on so feel the fire Come off the empire, on a more higher Level than def, one step beyond dope The suckers all scope and hope to cope but nope Cause I can never let 'em on t o p o f m e I play 'em out like a game of Mon o p o l y Let 'em speed around the board like an A str o Then send 'em to jail for trying to p a ss G o Shaking 'em up, breaking 'em up, taking no stuff But it still ain't loud enough.
Note how Kane here creates his slant rhymes not through simple pairs of words, but by sometimes matching sets of words "on top of me" with single words that make up the same number of syllables "monopoly". This excerpt from a poem by John Milton is a good example of forced rhyme , since the poet had to alter the spelling of two different words in order to make them seem to rhyme with the word "youth.
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth , Stol'n on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!
