Why implied rhymes the way it does
To understand why implied rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the bright /iห/, written /iห/ โ and the ending, which lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 147 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 119, assonance 2,930, and consonance 817. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Implied pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
