Why immerse rhymes the way it does
Pull immerse apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 79, assonance 3,318, and consonance 479. 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. Immerse rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
