Why bird rhymes the way it does
Bird is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, then it closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 65 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 58, assonance 3,628, and consonance 834. 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. Bird works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
