Unfortuntately, there seems to be only one "PERFECT rhyme" (in which all sounds from the accented vowel to the end match exactly). That is "steeple"
But there are a number of good "near rhymes" that can work in poetry. The best are usually those in which ALL the necessary vowels match ("full assonance") along with the final consonant ("final consonance"), and --if possible-- the remaining consonant is fairly close to the /p/ (before the L).
Here are some that could work:
feeble
evil, weevil
treacle, equal
beagle, eagle, legal, regal
beetle, fetal, needle, weedle, tweedle,

You could also make up some: heaple, creeple, seeple, if your poem is light-hearted enough.
