Why wartime rhymes the way it does
Wartime is built around a long-i vowel that opens the mouth (/i/); it's two-syllable and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 89, assonance 10,075, and consonance 5. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. 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 wartime, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
