Why peer rhymes the way it does
Peer is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 90 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 8,185, and consonance 419. 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. Peer is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
