Why justine rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for justine starts at the vowel โ the full-throated /aษช/, IPA /i/ โ and ends where the line lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 58 matches, family rhymes 17, additive and subtractive together 199, assonance 2,885, and consonance 1020. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Justine rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
