Why mind rhymes the way it does
To understand why mind rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the open /aɪ/ diphthong, written /aɪnd/ — and the ending, which ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 49 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 236, assonance 3,007, and consonance 429. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Mind rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
