Why kenyon rhymes the way it does

Pull kenyon apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the front /ษ›/ (/ษ™/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 42 matches, family rhymes 27, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 6,442, and consonance 1017. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for kenyon tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ€” and often prefers โ€” the slant.
