Using rhymes for world
World is famously hard to rhyme. The perfect rhymes, curled, hurled, swirled and twirled, are all past-tense movement words, which can sound forced. Many writers use near rhymes instead: learned, concerned and disturbed keep the “ur” vowel and are far less noticeable.
Example lines
Two original couplets: one with a perfect rhyme, one with a near rhyme.
The smoke above the bonfire rose and slowly curled,
and for a minute nothing else existed in the world.
I made a lot of mistakes, and that’s how I learned
there’s more than one road out into the world.
