| Apr 1, 2015 at 11:24 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Call me ignorant but I don't understand the difference between a slant rhyme and a normal rhyme, which means I will have to Google these terms myself. You haven't even thought about providing a suitable link. If I am not an expert how will I know which source is reliable, and which are superficial or just plain misleading. | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 9:17 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | On ELU, answers should not be given when the question is manifestly unclear. A request for clarification in a comment may be appropriate. But here, 'rhyme' is hardly a word that should be being requested on this website, and 'oblique rhyme' has already been covered [answered Jul 18 '11 by Robusto]. | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 7:56 | comment | added | bobro | Note that the question describes a slant rhyme, but gives as an example an ordinary rhyme. | |
