Check Rhymes

Suggestions to keep you organized and on task: Bold, Italic or highlight your rhyme words so you can easily find them. You can use a different color for each sets of rhymes if that helps you. Example:

Go through and say the last words of your lines. As in the example: Belief, question, grief, fiction. Are you ending words strong and do they give the idea of your song? If you find most of your ending rhyme words are non-descript words like: you, be, us, now, there, see, again, etc. we get no sense of your song. The last word of each phrase, especially if it rhymes, is ear candy. Use this as an opportunity not to be wasted. 

Keeping  the vowel sounds of the verses, bridge and chorus different will add contrast. Listen to the vowel sounds of your rhymes. Do you have tendencies to use the same vowel rhyme sounds? Are you in a vowel rut?

Example:

Are your ears bored yet? What if it were more like this:

Ears are much happier now!
