Why mystic rhymes the way it does
Pull mystic apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 67 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 87, assonance 12,859, and consonance 31. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Mystic rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
