Why hag rhymes the way it does
Hag is built around the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/); it's one-syllable and closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 66 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 36, assonance 6,613, and consonance 206. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Hag works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
