Rhymes
Rhymes are repeating a similar phonetic sound in two or more words. Generally, a rhyme is when the final stressed vowel of the two or more words sounds the same and is called a perfect rhyme. Another type of rhyme is the general rhyme where words sound similar but are not identical. This includes syllabic and imperfect rhymes. Poetry and music heavily rely on rhymes.
