Why coexist rhymes the way it does
Coexist is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the clipped /ษช/, then it lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 30 matches, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 85, assonance 12,498, and consonance 409. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Coexist is a word that benefits from the second pass.
