Eye rhyme is a rhyme that looks as if it should sound alike because the words share the same or very similar spelling, but they are pronounced differently. Poets may use eye rhyme to create a visual pattern on the page even when the sound does not fully match.
Example
Though the night was calm and still,
I read the words:
move and
love.
They look like they belong together,
but sound refuses to prove them so.
slaughter : laughter.
sew : blew
brow : crow
said : laid
