Why roar rhymes the way it does
Roar is built around the resonant /oส/ (/oส/); it's one-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 114 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 559, assonance 3,751, and consonance 806. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Roar is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
