Why alicia rhymes the way it does
To understand why alicia rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1114, assonance 5,615, 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Alicia pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
