Default Bite-sized advice: A.E. Stallings

I posted the full video of A.E. Stallings' March 2021 Rattle interview under "The Accomplished Members" months ago.

Rattle just posted this three-minute highlight video. It is more accessibly-packaged advice on rhyming, suitable for sending to students. Enjoy!

(Or refute it, if you want, since this is a discussion thread.)

I will note that what Alicia says about increasing surprise by rhyming across parts of speech (rather than rhyming nouns with nouns, adjectives with adjectives, etc.) is actually a formal rule of prosody in some easier-to-rhyme languages, such as French. Further evidence that it works!
