Why grace rhymes the way it does
Grace is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a long-a that lifts the line, then it spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 240 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 313, assonance 7,123, and consonance 575. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Grace is a word that benefits from the second pass.
