Words that rhyme with Copious
Copious: two-syllable, a word that sets the weather, vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, ending that trails off into a fricative. It fixes the colour of the verse before anything else happens. From the rhyme-data side: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, the family-rhyme column adds honest near-rhymes, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a word the verse uses to fix its colour. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why copious rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for copious starts at the vowel โ the mid /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 126, assonance 6,095, and consonance 158. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Copious rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
