Rhyme refers to words that share a similar sound pattern, often at the end of a line in poetry or song lyrics. However, a writer may want to use a different word to avoid repetition or add variety to their work. Some synonyms for rhyme include: cadence, rhythm, verse, meter, melody, harmony, tune, jingle, chime, lilt, carol, and song. Each of these words relates to the overall sound and musicality of a piece of writing, but with slightly different connotations or implications. Experimenting with different options may help writers find the perfect fit for their needs.
