The only PERFECT rhyme (in which ALL sounds from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end match exactly) is

"pigeons" !

That probably won't help in most poems! But poems don't always need perfect rhymes. A good "near rhyme" --in which MOST of the sounds match or come very close-- will usually work very nicely.

For some good near rhymes, start with words in which ALL the vowels match, the final consonant cluster matches, and the first consonant (the /j/ sound of the "g") comes close.

One set would be words ending with /isions/ (probably your best bet)
VISIONS, elisions, envisions, decision, collisions, incisions, provisions, divisions

Then there's words ending with /isms/
schisms, prisms

Then words ending with /issions/
missions, emissions, suspicions, supersititions, intuitions, expeditions, commissions, conditions, physicians, transisitions, admonitions, coalitions, inhibitions, etc. etc.!!

(For more on this one, try entering "missions" in the search box at a site like "rhymezone.com")


OR "injuns" (slang for "Indians" or th pronounciation of "engines" in some dialects of English [not 'standard'])

OR maybe even "kitchens"


You MIGHT be able to get away with words ending with /egions/ (in which all sounds match, EXCEPT that the first vowel is longer):
legions, regions, collegians
