Why offshore rhymes the way it does

Pull offshore apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the rounded /ษ”หr/ (/ษ”หr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 74 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. 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. Offshore is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
