Why grown rhymes the way it does
Pull grown apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 136 matches, family rhymes 35, additive and subtractive together 355, assonance 4,823, and consonance 1283. 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.
