Why forecast rhymes the way it does
Forecast is built around the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/); it's three-syllable and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 127, assonance 10,519, and consonance 472. 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. 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. Forecast rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
