Why berwick rhymes the way it does
The phonology of berwick is a two-syllable core: the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 53 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 8,449, and consonance 614. 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. Berwick works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
