Beckett Rhymes: A Poet's Guide To Imperfect Rhyme Styles
Ever felt that a rhyme was almost right, but not quite? That unsettling, yet strangely satisfying sensation is often the work of Beckett Rhymes, a powerful technique that can inject subtle discord or dark humor into verse.
It is a literary device in which the poet uses near rhymes or half rhymes in their poetry. Specifically, it is a form of rhyme invented by Samuel Beckett, that utilizes words that possess similar, yet not identical, sounds. Think of "love" and "move"these are prime examples of a Beckett rhyme in action. The resonance is there, but the perfect chime is deliberately absent.
