Pararhyme

As Para rhyme (Greek παρά next ) is called a rhyme that is based on the consonance of the rhyming words. This means that, unlike other forms of rhyme here the stressed vowel is not equal (Rat - Tat ), but in the consonantal skeleton of the rhyme word only the vowel changed (Rat - red). The vowel quantity is preserved.

The Para rhyme is mainly known in English poetry of the late 19th century. It was first used by William Butler Yeats. In the early 20th century, he won again in popularity and was taken by Wilfred Owen as a stylistic device to blossom.

"It Seemed that out of the battle I escaped / Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped / Through granites Which Titanic wars had groined / Yet so there encumbered sleepers groaned "
