Why donnie rhymes the way it does
Donnie is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a tight high-vowel /iห/, then it opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 142 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. 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. Donnie works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
