What is approximate rhyme?

Asked by GarnetMarye

Answer (2)

Approximately can mean ' almost' or ' about'. Therefore, an approximate rhyme is a word that sounds similar, but not exactly a rhyme, to another word.
For example, **'again **and friend'.
Approximate rhymes may also not sound exactly alike, or similar, at all. For example, 'bed and bead' .

Approximate rhyme, or slant rhyme, is a type of rhyme where words have similar sounds but do not perfectly match. It allows for greater creative freedom in poetry and songwriting by enhancing rhythm while avoiding the constraints of perfect rhymes. This technique is commonly used in modern poetry to convey deeper meanings or emotions.
