“place” in a lyric: two examples

We moved the couch, and in its empty space
the dog lay down. It's still his favorite place.

Our old dog runs each morning, a turtle's pace,
and still won't let a puppy take his place.

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 (face, case, and space) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (hyperspace) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “place” sounds forced, move “place” inside the line and end it on another word.
