Perfect rhyme (also called full rhyme, exact rhyme, [1] or true rhyme) is a form of rhyme between two words or phrases, satisfying the following conditions: [2] [3] The stressed vowel sound in both words must be identical, as well as any subsequent sounds.

There are many words that match most of the sounds from the stressed vowel onwards and so are near rhymes, called slant rhymes.

Holorime [1] (or holorhyme [2]) is a form of rhyme where two very similar sequences of sounds can form phrases composed of different words and with different meanings.

The poem has six stanzas of four lines each, featuring slant rhyme. [2] The regularity of the four-line stanzas, according to Linda Wagner-Martin, serves to suggest "a grim insistence". [2] The poem's literary allusions include references to Herman Melville's Moby Dick, William Shakespeare's The Tempest, and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. [3]
