Why wreak rhymes the way it does
Wreak is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on a high-front /iห/, then it snaps shut on a stop. 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. 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 wreak, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
