Here's an important thing about rhymes -- a perfect rhyme needs to match the ACCENT, plus ALL the sounds from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end of the word.

Sometimes that makes things harder. But in this case, it's easy. Since the last syllable of "brunette" has the accent, the ONLY thing you need to match is the /et/ sound of the ending. Any word or expression with this sound (and accented at the end) will work. Such as:

abet, bet, cassette, cigarette debt, forget, fret, gazette, get, jet, let, met, net, pet, regret, roulette, set, silhouette, sweat, threat, vet, wet, yet

(This doesn't include proper names, e.g., Annette, Jeanette)

________________________

A second helpful note about rhymes -- when you are looking to rhyme something for a poem, in MANY instances you do NOT need a "perfect rhyme" (as described above, only a "near rhyme" in which MOST of the sounds match, or very nearly match.

So, you will find in thiscase that words ending with the sounds /ep/ or /ek/ as well as some with additional consonants, may work very well. (In fact, -ept or -ect probably work better that -ep or -eck.)

Try:

hep, prep, rep, step, strep, yep
adept, accept, crept, except, inept, kept, leapt, slept, wept

check, deck, fleck, heck, peck, trek, wreck
affect*, connect, correct, detect, direct, effect, inject, inspect, neglect, object*, perfect*, protect, respect, sect, select, suspect*

* - use the VERB form, not the noun form (accent falls on different syllables)

Of course, whether any of these will work for YOUR use depends on your use! In other words, you have to just try them to see whether they sound right where you want to put them. (In some cases, such as comic verse, even "near rhymes" don't have to be all that near).

I went to the casino, to play some roulette. This was a night I would not soon forget. A young women brought me drinks, she was a pretty brunette. She had on a name nametag, said her name was Babette. Before the night was over I won enough money to pay for my new kitchenette. Though folly of my own, I gambled it away, now I'm deeply in debt.

I'm not a poet, please forgive me.
