Why unseen rhymes the way it does
Unseen is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a high-front /iห/, then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 92 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 209, assonance 5,462, and consonance 865. 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. 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 unseen, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
