Why visionary rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for visionary starts at the vowel โ the high /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 122 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 71, assonance 7,192, and consonance 702. 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. 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 visionary, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
