Why mound rhymes the way it does
Mound is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the wide /aส/, then it lands on the nasal-into-stop combo. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 38 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 89, assonance 4,945, and consonance 426. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Mound rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
