A female rhyme is a type of rhyme that occurs when the last two syllables of a verse rhyme with each other. Other terms for this type of rhyme include double rhyme, twofold rhyme, and disyllabic rhyme. In addition, this type of rhyme is called a feminine ending because it provides a soft, delicate sound that contrasts with the harsher, more aggressive sounds that typically accompany masculine rhymes, which are single-syllable rhymes. While female rhyme is often used in poetry, it can also be found in music lyrics and other forms of creative expression. Some examples of female rhyme include "butterfly" and "bunny," "tangerine" and "sardine," and "baby" and "maybe".
