Why lodge rhymes the way it does
Pull lodge apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 42, assonance 5,478, and consonance 139. 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. 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. Lodge works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
