Why bleeding rhymes the way it does
Bleeding is built around the high /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 207, assonance 6,612, and consonance 111. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Bleeding pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
