Why lana rhymes the way it does
Lana is built around the short /æ/ (/æ/); it's two-syllable and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 6,592, and consonance 1068. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Lana works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
