Why midway rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for midway starts at the vowel — a front-of-the-mouth /eɪ/, IPA /eɪ/ — and ends where the line ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 21, assonance 11,104, and consonance 6. 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: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Midway reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
