Why trained rhymes the way it does
Pull trained apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 59 matches, family rhymes 23, additive and subtractive together 360, assonance 6,400, and consonance 424. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Trained pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
