Using rhymes for life
Life has almost no everyday perfect rhymes: wife, knife and strife are nearly the whole list, and each brings a strong mood with it. That is why songs about life usually reach for near rhymes. *Alive*, arrive and advice keep the long “i” and swap the final sound, which works well when sung.
Example lines
Two original couplets: one with a perfect rhyme, one with a near rhyme.
We argued over little things and called it all the strife,
not knowing that the little things were most of what made life.
I didn’t follow anybody’s map or their advice;
I simply kept on walking, and I found I had a life.
