Why haze rhymes the way it does
Haze is built around the rising /eษช/ (/a/); it's one-syllable and trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 133 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 161, assonance 5,762, and consonance 576. 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. 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. Haze rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
