Why blonde rhymes the way it does
Pull blonde apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends in a nasal feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 113, assonance 7,402, and consonance 467. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Blonde is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
