Why trapped rhymes the way it does
Trapped is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the centred /ษ/, then it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 7, additive and subtractive together 63, assonance 6,627, and consonance 151. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Trapped rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
