Why midst rhymes the way it does
Midst is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's one-syllable and softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 79, assonance 12,581, and consonance 22. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With midst, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
