Why fenced rhymes the way it does
Fenced is built around the front /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 243, assonance 13,328, and consonance 71. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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 fenced tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
