<p>No. There is no such thing as &quot;spelling&quot; in Chinese. The examples you gave are in pinyin, a phonetic transliteration system, which means the same sound is always transcribed the same. If you put them into proper Chinese, the first few lines of 迷迭香 will be like this:</p>
<pre><code>你的嘴角
微微上翹 
性感的無可救藥
</code></pre>
<p>As you can see, the written forms of the last character of each line (the rhyming part) have nothing in common. They just have the same ending sound. This is the same with your English example (words have different spellings but all end with the 'air' sound). So the distinction you were trying to make does not exist. It is just monorhyme in English.</p>
<p>As for the Chinese name, I assume what you mean is a rhyme scheme where the whole song/poem uses only one rhyme, without changing rhyme. If so, that's called 一韵到底. If you change rhyme in the middle of the song/poem, it (the action of changing rhyme) is called 换韵.</p>
<p>The term that the previous answer gives, 单押, is not exact. The examples you gave happen to be both 一韵到底 and 单押, but the terms themselves mean two different things. 单押 means only the last character of each line is in rhyme, in contrary to 双押, where the last two characters in each line rhyme respectively. For example, in &quot;你的嘴角 微微上翹&quot;, only 角 and 翘 rhyme. In &quot;你的嘴角 每分每秒&quot;,  嘴 rhymes with 每 and 角 rhymes with 秒. There is even 三押, which is even more challenging.</p>
<p>Obviously, a song/poem can be 单押 and 换韵, or 一韵到底 and 双押. The two set of terms are orthogonal.</p>

Monorhyme sounds powerful and naturally attracting, similar to the core recursive reasoning/algo in science from which transcendence becomes possible...

Out of all the different types of [rhyme schemes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme_scheme#Notation_and_examples), this one in English would be called a "[monorhyme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorhyme)", but I wonder if there's a Chinese word for it because the above examples are not only monorhymes but all end in the sound spelled "ao", which is not the case for English monorhymes, such as the example given on the Wikipedia page for monorhymes:

```
Is like a spell to make me swear
Of my quick, surreptitious stare
She wrings the water from her hair
And turning smiles to see me there

```

The type of rhyme I'm looking for, does not need to end always in "ao", it could also end always in "shi" or something else. I just want to know if there's a Chinese word for the type of poem/song given.

[Google Translate does give a translate for monorhyme](https://www.google.com/search?q=translate&oq=translate&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.1107j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8): 一韵 which just means "one rhyme", and could easily just be Google's educated guess, knowing that "mono" means "one".

We call it 单押 in Chinese，which means that sentences have the same or similar vowels between sentences. The end of each sentence has the same vowel. It's a type of rhyme scheme，not a type of music though. You can find it in many types of music.

Here's some other examples:

* 东风破 (by Jay Chou),
* 一路向北 (by Jay Chou),
* 禅舞不二 (by Wilber Pan).

Obviously, a song/poem can be 单押 and 换韵, or 一韵到底 and 双押. The two set of terms are orthogonal.
