Why regime rhymes the way it does
Regime is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the open /aษช/ diphthong, then it trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 29 matches, family rhymes 93, additive and subtractive together 181, assonance 5,545, and consonance 454. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Regime rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
