Why fillmore rhymes the way it does
Pull fillmore apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the rounded /ษหr/ (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 75 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Fillmore pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
