Why brig rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for brig starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 8,528, and consonance 188. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Brig pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
