Perfect Rhymes vs Near Rhymes
Perfect rhymes share the exact same ending sound. Near rhymes — also called slant rhymes or half rhymes — share a similar but not identical sound. Both types appear separately on this page.

Near rhymes create a slightly off-balance feeling that many contemporary songwriters, poets, and rap artists prefer because it sounds less predictable.
