Why porch rhymes the way it does
Porch is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, then it lands on an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 109, assonance 5,041, and consonance 3. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Porch pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
