Words that rhyme with Donate
On the page, donate is an unguarded everyday word; on the ear it's a two-syllable word on the long /eɪ/ that lands on a stopped consonant. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Engine returns: perfect rhymes are not on the table, family rhymes round out the strict column, the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric returns: a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.
