Why charm rhymes the way it does
To understand why charm rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษหr/, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 7, additive and subtractive together 119, assonance 7,634, and consonance 33. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Charm pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
