Why groom rhymes the way it does
To understand why groom rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ a back /uห/, written /uห/ โ and the ending, which trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 55 matches, family rhymes 55, additive and subtractive together 245, assonance 3,174, and consonance 558. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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 groom tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
