How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (name, came, and same) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (overcame) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “game” sounds forced, move “game” inside the line and end it on another word.
