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 27 matches, family rhymes 50, additive and subtractive together 175, assonance 3,465, and consonance 450. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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.
