Why abandoned rhymes the way it does
In our engine, abandoned registers as a four-syllable word on the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 63, assonance 6,667, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Abandoned reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
