Masculine Rhyme• Most common
• On stressed syllables (usu. vowel)
• At the end of verse lines
• Examples:– delay/stay love/above
Feminine Rhyme—double rhyme• A rhyme on two
syllables, the first stressed, the other unstressed (trochaic)
• Example:– mother/another
Dactylic Rhyme
• Rhyme on three syllables—the first stressed and the second and third stressed
• Examples: cacophonies, Aristophanes
Truncated Rhyme
• When a trochaic or dactylic rhyme
ends on a stressed syllable due to a shortening of the unstressed syllables
Slant Rhyme—
(a.k.a. half-rhyme, forced rhyme,
imperfect rhyme, near rhyme)• Where the vowel sounds
do not match
• Example: love/have
breed/dread
Eye Rhyme • spellings match,
but the sounds do not
Example:love/provecough/bough
End Rhyme• Obviously, appears at the end of a
line
Internal Rhyme• Rhyme between syllables in the same line
• Example:
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary
Sound Devices
Alliteration• Repetition of initial consonant sounds
• Example: The soul selects her own society.
Assonance• Repetition of vowel sounds
• Example:– Open/broken– Shake/hate
Consonance• Repetition of identical or similar consonants in neighboring words whose vowel sounds are different
Example: rabies/robbers middle/muddle, wonder/wander
