Why doomsday rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for doomsday starts at the vowel โ the long /eษช/, IPA /eษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 268 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2172, assonance 4,359, 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With doomsday, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
