  • 1) " It is also possible to rhyme difficult words that appear not to have any rhymes. It is said that it is not possible to rhyme the word orange. But a poet knows this is not the case. You may take two words that coincide with the two syllables in orange and rhyme them. Some words that might rhyme with or are: for, bore, lore, core, door. Some words that might rhyme with ange are: cringe, binge, hinge, singe. Using these sets of words, we can create a true rhyme for the word orange. An example of a short poem below. There are claims that the words purple, silver, and month are also impossible to rhyme. Perhaps you can think of some rhymes? The sun shown in the sky like an orange, The wind creaked in the trees like a door hinge. (Sara Jones) I ate until I turned purple, boy was I sure full. (Sara Jones)" Source and further information: http://www.essayally.com/rhyme.php 2) "There are only four common words in the English language that are nearly impossible to rhyme. What is interesting about them is that three of the four are colors, silver, orange and purple. Perhaps this is because colors demand a certain amount of originality in their naming. Note how modern crayon color namers feel compelled to issue interesting names for their creations. Recent additions to the Crayola stable of colors include, "inch worm, jazzberry jam, mango tango and wild blue yonder". The other common word that does not have a rhyme is month. This is an Old English or Germanic word that derives from "moon", a month being roughly one cycle of the moon's phases. It was rather inconvenient for the ancients that the moon's phases do not divide evenly into the Earth's orbit around the sun. This forced them to adopt a rather artificial and somewhat unwieldy method of tracking time. Perhaps this is why we have held on to this singular, "un-rhymable" word. Some other, less common words that have no rhymes are angst and scalp. There are also a whole raft of words ending in "-th", but some of these are number-places and thus are rather odd constructs, eighth, ninth and twelfth. There are also breadth, depth and width."
