“peace” in a lyric: two examples

Two jobs, one tiny room, a one-year lease,
but when I lock the door, I've got my peace.

A traffic jam at dawn, a line of geese
flies over us, and for a minute, peace.

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 (piece, niece, and cease) close a line hard; those of 4 syllables (vietnamese) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “peace” sounds forced, move “peace” inside the line and end it on another word.
