Why cropping rhymes the way it does
Pull cropping apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 6,784, and consonance 96. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Cropping works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
