Why freehold rhymes the way it does
Freehold is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 76 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 432, assonance 5,925, and consonance 276. 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. Freehold works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
