Why seaboard rhymes the way it does
The phonology of seaboard is a two-syllable core: the open /oส/ (/oส/), then it lands on a liquid-into-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 125 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 227, assonance 7,025, and consonance 135. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Seaboard pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
