Why santos rhymes the way it does
To understand why santos rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the open /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 102, assonance 6,613, and consonance 122. 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.
