Why kremlin rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for kremlin starts at the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 12,145, and consonance 3. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With kremlin, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
