Why botany rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for botany starts at the vowel โ the tight /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 122, assonance 7,436, and consonance 90. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Botany rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
