Why serenity rhymes the way it does
Serenity is four-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the clipped /ษช/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 124, assonance 12,572, and consonance 315. 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. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Serenity works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
