Words that rhyme with Aura
As a two-syllable word, aura sits on the short /æ/ and leaves the vowel hanging open. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something.

Why aura rhymes the way it does
Pull aura apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with a low-front /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 18 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 100, assonance 4,771, and consonance 589. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Aura pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
