Consonant rhyme refers to the repetition of consonant sounds at the ends of words in a poetic verse. This type of rhyme is sometimes referred to as a consonance, and it can create a musical quality or a certain rhythm in the text. Some synonyms for the term consonant rhyme include assonance, alliteration, and slant rhyme. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds, while alliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant sound of words. Slant rhyme refers to words that sound similar but don't exactly rhyme, which often includes consonant sounds. Poets frequently use consonant rhyme to emphasize certain words or ideas in their work.
