Why clover rhymes the way it does
In our engine, clover registers as a two-syllable word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) that flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 102, assonance 3,357, and consonance 282. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Clover is a word that benefits from the second pass.
