Why harvest rhymes the way it does
Pull harvest apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 87, assonance 8,149, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Harvest pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
