Sharing is caring!

Rhymes have many uses aside from poetry. Rhyming words can connect words together to form a relationship. Sometimes the rhyming accentuates similarity between the words. Other times rhymes emphasize a contrast. The repetition of rhymes also makes words more memorable and enhances the beauty of the writing.

What Are Rhyming Words?

A rhyme is repeating a sound in the final syllable of a word or phrase in the final syllable of the following word or phrase. For example, “I was going to eat a macaroon, but it was whisked away by a pesky raccoon.” For words to rhyme, they don’t need to share the same sound in the beginning syllable(s), as long as the last syllable rhymes.
