Why lied rhymes the way it does
Lied is built around the singing /iห/ (/iห/); it's one-syllable and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 137 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 119, assonance 2,937, and consonance 817. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Lied works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
