What is absolute rhyme?

Absolute rhyme, also known as perfect rhyme or full rhyme, is a type of rhyme where the stressed vowels and all following sounds of two words are identical. This means that the words sound exactly alike from the stressed vowel onward.

Here are some examples of absolute rhymes:

* cat and hat

* bright and light

* tree and free

* beautiful and dutiful

In contrast to absolute rhyme, there are other types of rhyme:

* Slant rhyme (near rhyme): Words share some but not all sounds. Examples: "moon" and "stone," "cat" and "cot."

* Eye rhyme: Words look alike but sound different. Examples: "love" and "move," "rough" and "enough."

Absolute rhyme is commonly used in poetry and song lyrics to create a sense of rhythm, flow, and musicality. It can also be used to emphasize certain words or ideas.
