Why antenna rhymes the way it does
Antenna is built around the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/); it's three-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 33, assonance 12,499, and consonance 1350. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Antenna works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
