Why seek rhymes the way it does
Pull seek apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with a tight high-vowel /iห/ (/iห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 52 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 183, assonance 3,489, and consonance 572. 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 seek tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
