Why fruitful rhymes the way it does
Pull fruitful apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the central /ส/ (/ส/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 160, assonance 4,218, and consonance 38. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Fruitful is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
