Why beam rhymes the way it does
Pull beam apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the singing /iห/ (/iห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 179, additive and subtractive together 379, assonance 8,578, and consonance 538. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With beam, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
