What is closed rhyme?

Closed rhyme is a type of rhyme where the vowel sound in the final syllable of two or more words is identical, and the consonant sounds that follow the vowel are also the same. For example, the words "cat" and "hat" are a closed rhyme because the vowel sound "a" is the same and the consonant sound "t" is the same. Another example is "fan" and "pan". Closed rhyme is commonly used in poetry, songs, and nursery rhymes. It provides a structured and predictable pattern to the text and can be useful for emphasizing certain words or phrases.
