Why arise rhymes the way it does
The phonology of arise is a two-syllable core: the gliding /aɪ/ (/i/), then it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 100 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 2,934, and consonance 730. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Arise is a word that benefits from the second pass.
