Why commission rhymes the way it does
Pull commission apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 111 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Commission works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
