Pararhyme
Pararhyme is a half-rhyme in which there is vowel variation within the same consonant pattern. "Strange Meeting" is a poem by Wilfred Owen, a war poet who used pararhyme in his writing. Here is a part of the poem that shows pararhyme: Too fast in thought or death to be
bestirred. Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and
stared With piteous recognition in fixed
eyes, Lifting distressful hands, as if to
bless. And by his smile, I knew that sullen
hall, By his dead smile I knew we stood in
Hell. Pararhyme features in the Welsh cynghanedd poetic forms. The following short poem by Robert Graves is a demonstration in English of the
cynghanedd groes form, in which each consonant sound before the caesura is repeated in the same order after the caesura: Billet spied, Bolt sped. Across field Crows fled, Aloft, wounded, Left one dead.
