Why pour rhymes the way it does
To understand why pour rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /aส/ diphthong, written /aส/ โ and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 72 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Pour rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
