“home” in a lyric: two examples

Ten years of cheap hostels, free to roam,
but burnt toast in the morning still means home.

The neighbors stole our garden gnome,
then mailed us photos of it far from home.

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.
  • A one-syllable rhyme closes a line hard; a longer word softens it. Match it to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “home” sounds forced, move “home” inside the line and end it on another word.
