Why darwin rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for darwin starts at the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 58 matches, family rhymes 77, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 10,295, and consonance 1178. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Darwin works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
