Why weather rhymes the way it does
Weather sits on the rhotic schwa, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 13, assonance 7,710, and consonance 42. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Weather is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
