Why blackberry rhymes the way it does
Pull blackberry apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 3, assonance 6,726, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for blackberry tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
