Why curie rhymes the way it does
Curie is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the singing /iห/, then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 138 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1041, assonance 2,306, and consonance 0. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Curie pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
