Why blood rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for blood starts at the vowel โ the short /ส/, IPA /สd/ โ and ends where the line closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 15, assonance 3,767, and consonance 1196. 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. Blood pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
