Why blew rhymes the way it does
Pull blew apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with a closing /uห/ (/uห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close softens through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 188 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 929, assonance 1,690, and consonance 0. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Blew is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
