Vowel Rhyme

Definition: Vowel rhyme refers to a type of rhyme in poetry where the vowel sounds of two or more words match, but the consonant sounds that follow differ. It is also known as assonance or vowel echo.

Example:

• "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain." (The vowel sounds in 'rain' and 'Spain' and 'falls' and 'mainly' match, creating a vowel rhyme.)
• "I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless." (The vowel sounds in 'quest,' 'felled,' 'restless,' and 'depressed' match, forming vowel rhymes.)

Usage:

Vowel rhymes are frequently used in poetry and song lyrics to create a musical and pleasing effect. They can add emphasis to certain words or lines, enhance the rhythm, and contribute to the overall artistic quality of a piece of writing or composition.
