Why weak rhymes the way it does
Weak sits on a tight high-vowel /iห/, transcribed /iห/ in our engine, and lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 59 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 377, assonance 4,832, and consonance 778. 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. 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. Weak rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
