Why planet rhymes the way it does
Planet is built around the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 79, assonance 6,588, and consonance 362. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Planet is a word that benefits from the second pass.
