Why marker rhymes the way it does
Marker is built around the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 134, assonance 7,384, and consonance 57. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Marker rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
