Answer 2

Fiirst thought -- if you are actually trying to rhyme emu for a poem, seriously consider rewriting the line so that something else falls in the rhyme position!

As has been suggested there is no one-word perfect rhyme for emu. The alternative, if you need a PERFECT rhyme (and you well may not!) is a word that ends with the sound of "eem" followed by "you".

One of the following words could do:

beam, cream, deem, dream, gleam, ream, scheme, scream, seem, steam, stream, team, theme, esteem, exreme, redeem, regime, supreme

And very, very close to that is words ending with "een" -

bean, clean, dean, gene, glean, green, keen, lean, mean, mien, queen, scene, screen, seen, sheen, spleen, teen, wean, between, caffein, machine, marine, mujahadine, obscene, routine, serene, tangerine, trampoline

These are all about the same as combinations of words ending with "ee" or "eem" or "een" followed by "GNU", e;.g., "free gnu". So, in addition to the eem and een words above, you'd want to look at various words ending with "ee"


You could do the same sort of thing followed by the Greek letters "mu" or "nui"... but I somehow doubt you'll find an expression that is very useful!

Technically, the last couple of groups would be "near rhymes" -- but /n/ and /m/ are so close, they probably will work well.

The next closest near rhymes would be -EED + 'you' or 'gnu' (or 'mu'/'nu' !) -

bead, bleed, bread, cede, creed, deed, feed, greed, lead, need, plead, reed, seed, speed, stead, weed,agreed, exceed, indeed, precede, recede, succeed

Slightly more distant (because the consonant involved does not use the voice, as m,n and d do) -- use words ending in "eep":
cheap, creep, deep, heap, keep, leap, peep, sheep, sleep, steep, sweep, weep

(Other "ee + CONSONANT" endings might work, but will be more distant.)

The LAST possiblility -- already indirectly mentioned in another answer-- is to be satisfied with JUST matching the vowels (called "full assonance"). In this case, some words or expressions will be much closer than others -- "see you" or "sheep two" is closer than "teaspoon" which is closer than "each fruit"... (but the vowels match in each case).

Note that near rhymes, including ones that match no more than the vowels are not the same as 'perfect' or 'full' rhyme. But they often will work quite nicely in poetry. How exact YOUR poem needs to match I cannot say ... some types, like comic verse (e.g., limericks) are very flexible on this point. So just test various possibilities in the actual poem you're working on to see what works.

Answer 3

Lots of possibilities here. You just need the long ee sound and the long oo sound.

Theme Zoo
Steamed Stew
Cream You

I can think of dozens. Wanna share a line of your poem? It might help.

Answer 4

Depends where you're going to put it. If it's going to be said out loud on stage, in front of an audience, you could get away with the old stage standbys "rhubarb" or if it's quick "sodawaterbottle", but for writing down . . . .hmmm . . .that's a tricky one.

Answer 5

If you run into an emu
Don't kick him or he'll cream you
Don't yell 'cause he'll outscream you
And probably outdream you

Answer 6

well, I was going to say "sinew" but hey...you already have about a MILLION choices...lol. Good luck.

Answer 7

Closest thing I can think of is Hebrew.
