Use it in a line
The trick is to put the more surprising word second, so the rhyme lands as a small reveal — and never bend a sentence out of shape just to reach “death.” If the perfect rhyme won’t cooperate, a slant rhyme almost always reads more naturally than an inverted line.
How these matches are made
Perfect rhymes match from the final stressed vowel onward. Near rhymes share a stressed vowel or closing sound and are suggestions rather than exact claims. Syllables and stress come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, reviewed 2026-07-18, which models General American English. Dialect, names, performance, and alternate pronunciations can change what fits.
