Subverted rhyme is a poetic technique where the expected rhyme scheme is altered or disrupted, creating a surprising effect that can enhance the meaning or emotional impact of a poem. Instead of adhering strictly to a predetermined pattern of rhyming words, the poet may introduce unexpected rhymes or use slant rhymes (words that have a similar sound but do not perfectly rhyme) to create tension or highlight a theme.
