Why scorpio rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for scorpio starts at the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 56 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1464, assonance 3,525, 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 scorpio tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
