Why boar rhymes the way it does
Boar is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a back-of-the-mouth /oส/, then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 72 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Boar works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
