Here's why:
* Consonant rhyme: It focuses on the similarity of consonant sounds at the end of words, even if the vowel sounds differ.
* Slant rhyme: It's a more poetic term for consonant rhyme, emphasizing the slightly off-kilter, "near rhyme" quality.
Examples:
* Cat and cot (consonant rhyme)
* Moon and rune (slant rhyme)
* Thin and then (slant rhyme)
These types of rhymes add a subtle musicality and a sense of playfulness to poetry and lyrics.
