Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 6   AIL 0541 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Eye Rhyme

Captions available

The idea

The glossary defines eye rhyme as words that look as though they should rhyme but do not, giving good and mood, and notes the alternative name sight rhyme. It is a spelling relation rather than a sound one, and it appears in the glossary twice under both names.

In practice

Looks like rhyme, is not.

Where people slip

Spelling, not sound.
