Slant Rhymes (sometimes called imperfect, partial, near, oblique, off etc.) are rhymes in which two words share just a vowel sound (assonance – e.g. “heart” and “star”) or in which they share just a consonant sound (consonance – e.g. “milk” and “walk”). ~see Types of Rhyme @dailywritingtips.com

Is that your voice I hear or is it just the cooing of the doves on this misty morning air? The sound is barely there as if from muffled tongues, or shuttered by death's door. Your absence leaves a scar~ memories are merely crumbs leading only to grief's bower.
