Why proximity rhymes the way it does
Proximity is built around the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's four-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 7, additive and subtractive together 90, assonance 13,165, and consonance 48. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Proximity works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
