Why breeze rhymes the way it does
Breeze is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the long /iห/, then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 134 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 152, assonance 4,804, and consonance 566. 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. 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. Breeze rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
