Why rayon rhymes the way it does
Pull rayon apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 146, assonance 5,756, and consonance 900. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Rayon reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
