Words that rhyme with Enclosure
Map enclosure onto a phonological grid and you get: three-syllable, the /ษหr/ vowel, ending that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Lyrically, it reads as a quotidian anchor. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Two readings: as data โ strict rhymes are scarce, the family column is blank, the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous; as lyric โ a workaday word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why enclosure rhymes the way it does
To understand why enclosure rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the r-coloured schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 104, assonance 3,087, and consonance 42. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Enclosure works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
