Why grimm rhymes the way it does
Pull grimm apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 23, assonance 10,504, and consonance 5. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for grimm tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
