Why boom rhymes the way it does
Pull boom apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the long /uห/ (/uห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 56 matches, family rhymes 55, additive and subtractive together 245, assonance 3,174, and consonance 558. 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. 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. Boom works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
