Why sheen rhymes the way it does
Sheen is built around the bright /iห/ (/iห/); it's one-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 177 matches, family rhymes 42, additive and subtractive together 427, assonance 8,473, and consonance 1166. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Sheen is a word that benefits from the second pass.
