Why taunton rhymes the way it does
Taunton is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 42 matches, family rhymes 27, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 6,442, and consonance 1017. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With taunton, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
