Why flatter rhymes the way it does
To understand why flatter rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 27 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 22, assonance 6,629, and consonance 1056. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Flatter rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
