Here's a breakdown:
* Rhyme: A literary device where the ending sounds of words or syllables are similar or identical.
* Perfect rhyme: Words that have the same vowel sound and the same consonant sound after the vowel (e.g., "cat" and "hat").
* Near rhyme (or slant rhyme): Words that have similar but not identical sounds (e.g., "cat" and "cot").
