Why grown rhymes the way it does
Grown sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 58 matches, family rhymes 18, additive and subtractive together 147, assonance 5,474, and consonance 901. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Grown rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
