There is nothing that rhymes with homework.

Answer 3

Several people are trying to suggest that all you need is a word that rhymes with "work". But that probably will not be enough, because it is "HOMEwork". That is, it works as a unit in which the ACCENT is on "home", and a perfect rhyme REQUIRES that the matching sounds begin with the vowel of the accented syllable. Even if you don't use a perfect rhyme, most good near rhymes need in some way to match the accented syllable.

In other words, for a PERFECT rhyme you would need an expression in which the next to last syllable rhymes with 'home' (that is, ends with the sound -ome) and is accented, the last syllable is work.

But you can almost certainly find a very usable "NEAR rhyme" --and good poetry uses near rhymes quite a lot! (So those who say "nothing rhymes" are only correct, perhaps, in the narrow sense of a 'perfect rhyme')

In other words, for a PERFECT rhyme you would need an expression in which the next to last syllable rhymes with 'home' (that is, ends with the sound -ome) and is accented, the last syllable is work.

But you can almost certainly find a very usable "NEAR rhyme" (and good poetry uses near rhymes quite a lot!) The best near rhymes generally match the vowel sounds (called "full assonance") and the final consonant of consonant cluster -rk) or something very close to it (perhaps -rt).

It will also help if the consonant after the long o (matching hOme) either matches or is something close to the /m/ sound of home, such as /n/, /b/, /v/ or /d/ (All of these sounds use the voice --as m does-- and are formed very close to the same place in the mouth.)

So, here's what you can do:

A) find rhymes and near rhymes for HOME:

chrome, comb, dome, foam, loam, ohm, roam, tome

blown, bone, clone, cone, drone, flown, groan, frown, hone, known, lone, moan, own, phone, prone, sown, stone, throne, throne, tone, zone, alone, atone, cologne, postpone

globe, lobe, probe, robe, strobe

stove, cove, grove, trove, wove

ode, code, mode, road, toad, bestowed, commode
snowed, stowed, slowed, flowed, mowed...

OR possibly a word with no consonant at the end:
low, row, slow, faux, bow, blow, know, owe, dough, flow, foe, glow, grow, hoe, no, pro, show, snow, crow, below, bordeaux


B) combine one of the words just listed with "work", in an expression/phrase like "roadwork", "phone work", "known work", "no work", "my OWN work", or simply at the end of a clause ... Just make sure that the the syllable preceeding "work" receives the accent.

OR combine one of the words in (A) with a one-syllable rhyme, or near rhyme, for work:

cirque, clerk, dirk, irk, jerk, kirk, lurk, murk, perk, quirk, shirk, smirk, turk

dirt, flirt, hurt, shirt, skirt, spurt, squirt

(a bit more distant)
bird, blurred, curd, herd, nerd, slurred, third, word
curb, herb, verb, curve, nerve, serve, swerve


(By the way --about rhymezone.com. It does not list ANY perfect rhymes for "homework". Also, note that when you use that site to look for rhymes, the list returned will include many personal names [mostly rare surnames], which are rarely very useful to those trying to write a poem!)
