Using rhymes for love
Very few words rhyme perfectly with love, and the best known, above and of, have been used in so many songs that listeners hear them coming. *Glove* and dove are fresher but narrow. Near rhymes are where most modern lyrics go: enough, rough and stuff keep the vowel and change the last sound, which the ear accepts easily when the line is sung.
Example lines
Two original couplets: one with a perfect rhyme, one with a near rhyme.
I kept a list of all the things I dreamed of,
and every line came back to one word: love.
It never comes out tidy, and it’s never quite enough,
but this is what it looks like when we call it love.
