Why cheer rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for cheer starts at the vowel โ the bright /iห/, IPA /ษชษr/ โ and ends where the line ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 105 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 96, assonance 7,460, and consonance 550. 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 cheer tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
