Head rhyme is rhyme made by matching sounds at the beginnings of words or stressed syllables, often through repeated initial consonants. It is closely related to alliteration and is sometimes used as another name for it, especially when the repeated sounds are emphasized in verse. Unlike end rhyme, it works at the start of the words rather than the end.
Example
Bright birds break beyond the bay,
Silver sails sweep softly away.
