How songwriters use these rhymes

Why fixation rhymes the way it does
Pull fixation apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 765 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 556, assonance 4,765, and consonance 208. 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. 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. Fixation works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
