7. End Rhyme • A rhyme that occurs in the last syllables of verses. • Example: Whose woods these are I think I know,His house is in the village, though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow. -“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost

Slant Rhyme • two words that have only their final consonant sounds and no preceding vowel or consonant sounds in common (such as stopped and wept, or parable and shell). • Example: Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. -”Hope is the thing with feathers” by Emily Dickinson
