Why trend rhymes the way it does
The phonology of trend is a one-syllable core: the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 95 matches, family rhymes 5, additive and subtractive together 120, assonance 12,553, and consonance 420. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Trend is a word that benefits from the second pass.
