Why brew rhymes the way it does
To understand why brew rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 136 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 708, assonance 1,925, and consonance 0. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for brew tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
