Why fielding rhymes the way it does
Fielding is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the tight /ɪ/, then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 164, assonance 7,050, and consonance 21. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With fielding, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
