Why white rhymes the way it does
To understand why white rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the open /aɪ/ diphthong, written /aɪt/ — and the ending, which lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 146 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 128, assonance 2,921, and consonance 995. 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 white, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
