Why baldwin rhymes the way it does

Baldwin sits on the short /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 49, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 10,294, and consonance 987. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Baldwin pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
