How rhymes work
A perfect rhyme repeats the last stressed vowel and everything after it (cat/hat, night/light). Slant or near rhymes share only part (home/stone). Rhymes depend on pronunciation, not spelling: 'though' does not rhyme with 'tough'. Rhymes work in schemes such as AABB (couplets) and ABAB (alternating).
