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 58 matches, family rhymes 77, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 10,295, and consonance 1178. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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.
