Why feeble rhymes the way it does
To understand why feeble rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the singing /iห/, written /iห/ โ and the ending, which trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 194, assonance 4,111, and consonance 118. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for feeble tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
