How songwriters use these rhymes
She kept her pant close, and her ant closer.

Why pant rhymes the way it does
To understand why pant rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the flat /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 63 matches, family rhymes 12, additive and subtractive together 88, assonance 6,531, and consonance 340. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Pant works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
