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