In classical French poetry (between Malherbe and Romanticism) rhymes normally have to be visual too: both sound and spelling have to be identical.

This means that the French metric line is generally not determined by the number of beats, but by the number of syllables (see syllabic verse; in the Renaissance, there was a brief attempt to develop a French poetics based on long and short syllables [see "musique ...
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. For example, the words kit and bit form a perfect rhyme, as do spaghetti and already. [4] [5]
A rhyming dictionary is a specialized dictionary designed for use in writing poetry and lyrics. In a rhyming dictionary, words are categorized into equivalence classes that consist of words that rhyme with one another. They also typically support several different kinds of rhymes and possibly also alliteration as well.
