There’s a poetry term I’ve seen only a few times, and I am not sure what it means. The term is “slant rhyme” - can anyone tell me what this is, and maybe give me a few examples thereof?
Thanks in advance!
It’s pretty much any near rhyme like:
ditch/gultch
spent/pen
gun/spoon
Found this searching Google: http://lyricpro.com/LyricProSlantRhymes.htm
Scroll down to “What exactly is a slant-rhyme?”
Hope this helps.
It does help. Thank you both!
Dang, I wasn’t fast enough on the draw. Another examples are Death/Rest (real common by teenage goth poets).
Oftentimes slant rimes will either use the same vowel sound or the same consonents but change the vowel (bitch/botch). It tends to sound wrong when they change the vowel sound too drastically though.
