Why kinetic rhymes the way it does
Kinetic is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 40 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 132, assonance 11,661, and consonance 96. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Kinetic works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
