Why art rhymes the way it does
The phonology of art is a one-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 84 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 234, assonance 6,885, and consonance 92. 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. 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. Art works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
