Why monstrous rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for monstrous starts at the vowel โ the wide /aส/, IPA /aส/ โ and ends where the line lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 61, assonance 8,320, and consonance 0. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Monstrous is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
