Why piedmont rhymes the way it does
Pull piedmont apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on the nasal-stop pairing. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 31 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 232, assonance 6,539, and consonance 367. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Piedmont is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
