Why greet rhymes the way it does
To understand why greet rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the singing /iห/, written /iห/ โ and the ending, which lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 114 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 180, assonance 4,482, and consonance 879. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Greet pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
