Why throw rhymes the way it does
Throw sits on the long /oส/, transcribed /oส/ in our engine, and tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 98 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 727, assonance 2,356, and consonance 0. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Throw rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
