Why eyeing rhymes the way it does
To understand why eyeing rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 85 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 195, assonance 4,150, and consonance 385. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Eyeing is a word that benefits from the second pass.
