Why bite rhymes the way it does
The phonology of bite is a one-syllable core: the full-throated /aɪ/ (/i/), then it closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 143 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 128, assonance 2,922, and consonance 995. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Bite is a word that benefits from the second pass.
