Why lucien rhymes the way it does
Lucien is built around a high-front /iห/ (/iห/); it's two-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 91 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 209, assonance 5,462, and consonance 865. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. 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. Lucien works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
