Why interfere rhymes the way it does
Pull interfere apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the r-coloured schwa (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 92 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 8,185, and consonance 419. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Interfere works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
