Why satisfy rhymes the way it does
Satisfy is built around the high /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's three-syllable and ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 193 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2040, assonance 2,017, and consonance 0. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for satisfy tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
