There Goes Rhymin'... Emily
Although her poetry was uniformly brief and succinct, Dickinson's particular writing style made them rich with meaning. She wrote with a characteristically contemplative tone, often evoking loneliness and melancholy. But more importantly, her poems are rife with unconventional rhymes. They are some of the best examples of slant rhyme, also known as half, slant, sprung, or near rhyme, wherein words do not rhyme perfectly, but share common consonance at the end. -
