... half rhymes or oblique rhymes. It doesn't matter what you call it the outcome is the same. It is when two words are close in rhyming but don't quite rhyme. Like cover and other, here and weird
Cover has a V sound in the middle and the word Other has a TH sound. Not the same.
Weird has a D sound at the end where the word Here doesn't.
So what are your thoughts on using near rhymes? Take my poll on the right and let me know.
Writing, interests, activities and other stuff.
