Why blind rhymes the way it does
Pull blind apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the full-throated /aΙͺ/ (/aΙͺnd/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 62 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 577, assonance 3,905, and consonance 546. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Blind rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
