Why hamlin rhymes the way it does
Pull hamlin apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 41 matches, family rhymes 49, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 10,294, and consonance 987. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With hamlin, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
