Words that rhyme with Potion
Sound and sense both matter for potion. The sound: two-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, ending that rings out through a nasal. The sense: a concept word. Songs that use it well also reach for something physical nearby. The headline counts: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. The lyric headline: it works as an abstract noun. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why potion rhymes the way it does
The phonology of potion is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 14 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 173, assonance 5,648, and consonance 939. 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. Potion pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
