Why manage rhymes the way it does
To understand why manage rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — a long-a that lifts the line, written /a/ — and the ending, which closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 6,669, and consonance 89. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Manage pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
