Why summary rhymes the way it does
Pull summary apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the high /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 2, additive and subtractive together 9, assonance 4,262, and consonance 506. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Summary pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
