Why eyes rhymes the way it does
Eyes is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the gliding /aɪ/, then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 100 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 2,934, and consonance 730. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Eyes is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
