Why islamic rhymes the way it does
To understand why islamic rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 53 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 8,448, and consonance 614. 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. Islamic works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
