Why forget rhymes the way it does
To understand why forget rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the front /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 210 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 62, assonance 11,685, and consonance 1693. 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. Forget works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
