Re: Feet of Clay
'As far as I know it's a type of near rhyme or slant rhyme , perhaps you could call it assonance'
Go to your room Neville! (that's a bit severe, sorry luv).....
Newbies often tell me that they 'have read' my tutorial. tch tch. Neville, can you help me out here....'tutorial'... thesaurus description please. I think it'll say something along the lines of repeatedly reading aka studying...a bit at a time...?
Anyway this is all in there. Ta Zondrae...you save me so much time. Your critique is correct IMO. Apart from technicalities, you will see an example of singular/plural rhyme in 'Unstrained', that when corrected conveys so much more 'power'.
'Assonance':
In the song 'Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue'.
'I'll be sad when you're goneI'll just cry all night long....'
'gone' & long' are assonance...not rhyme.
Hellooo Nerelie. Great to see you posting on here. Sing out next time you see me in Coles & we'll have a cuppa & a chat?

Re: Feet of Clay
I'll defer to your assonance Glenny. I did say perhaps, I wasn't exactly sure how assonance might be used as a rhyming end word.
