We explain what an assonance rhyme is and examples of consonant and assonance rhyme. Also, how a free rhyme is composed.
What is itarhyme?
A rhyme is the equality or similarity of the phonemes between two or more words from the last syllable of both. For example, they are rhymes the words cantion and praytion.
There are two types of rhymes: assonance rhymes and consonant rhymes. The difference between one and the other is that the first one only matches one or more vowels of the last word of a verse with one or more vowels from the last word of another verse.
In other words, it is known as an assonance rhyme to one where the vowels that are at the end of two or more verses, coincide with each other although the consonants do not. For this last reason, it is also known as partial or imperfect rhyme.
On the contrary, in a consonant rhyme the entire ending of one word coincides with another when both are at the end of a verse.
Rhyme is used with an aesthetic purpose for, basically, the poetry, in order to adorn or beautify with the tone a text determined.
There are two forms of assonance rhymes: an assonance rhyme can rhyme with another word starting with the last vowel only or, also, it can do it in more than one vowel but always starting with the last syllable.
In short, an assonance rhyme only repeats the vowels found at the end of a word, while consonant rhymes coincide in the completion of the entire syllable of a word.

Assonance rhymes will be underlined for distinction, while consonant rhymes will be highlighted in bold.
- In the middle of this id stormeas
I come to show my toma
Beyond the peleas
That my mind is plasteredma - Where will your forgetfulness walk
That in my nights he visited meta
They disturb my essence
And my mind transitionedta - Yesterday i met love
As pure as snow
As sweet as the miel
And as sad as the hiel - I know that between the tempest of your words
And the sweetness of your gaze
A path is woven
I can only reach with the soul - No matter how much you walk
You will not be able to get where you want
Well, you still don't know how to see
The path that you weave - Tell me if I have made a mistake
Tell me if with a song I can express my sorrow and pain
Well when your gaze sinks into my eyes,
I can only feel sorry for the pain that I have caused - I can express what I feel with the song of a bird
The singing of a magpie or a canary is not the same
So my soul expresses itself
Depending on what I have experienced
Rhyme
It is called a consonant rhyme or perfect rhyme (as the name implies) when the last syllable of a word that is at the end of a verse completely matches the syllable of another word that is also found at the end of another verse. An example of a consonant rhyme is the following words:
- Can -tion
- O - ra -tion
- Pro - li - fe - ra -tion
- From - duc -tion
- In - to - na -tion
- Re - duc -tion
- A - so - cia -tion
- Per - fo - ra -tion
Free rhyme
A free rhyme or white rhyme is a type of rhyme that is neither assonance nor consonant. It is a type of rhyme that is not trapped or tied to the rules of poetry.
That is, a free or white rhyme is one in which the words at the end of a verse do not match, they do not rhyme. However, it keeps its poetic structure.
In other words, a free rhyme lacks rhyme but they have a pattern since they are written in verses although they do not present consonant and / or assonance rhymes.
Finally, it is important to note that traditional verses are made up of 4 stanzas, but the verses in the white rhyme or free rhyme do not respect this structure. Example of free rhymes are as follows:
It was beautiful that morning
Very bright that sun
However your absence
Sad
Lonely
It made me sad for no reason
This time it will be as I say
Well, your fear clouded your heart
That heart full of love that I adored so much
And how good it made me feel years ago when I first met you
This morning when I get up
A cup of coffee i took
The smell of fresh toast
It took me back to my childhood
When my mother, tired of life
He would prepare us similar toasts
To those who now enjoyed
There were four cats
Those who met in the middle of the night
They fought for a female
And fighting their lives went away
