What is an example of ear rhyme?

An example of ear rhyme, also known as eye rhyme or sight rhyme, is the words "love" and "move."

They are spelled similarly and look like they should rhyme, but they are pronounced differently.

Here's another example:

"through" and "enough."

They share similar spellings but have distinct pronunciations.

Ear rhymes are often used in poetry and songwriting to create a sense of playfulness or to emphasize a particular word. They can also be used to create a feeling of dissonance or to highlight the difference between what something looks like and how it sounds.
