Why film rhymes the way it does
Film is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 77, assonance 11,732, and consonance 24. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Film works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
