Why druid rhymes the way it does
In our engine, druid registers as a one-syllable word on the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 138, assonance 3,577, and consonance 843. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Druid rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
