Why blouse rhymes the way it does
Blouse is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the descending /aส/, then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 82 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 3,143, and consonance 564. 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. Blouse pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
