Words that rhyme with Stowe
The shape of stowe: one-syllable, vowel coloured by a back-of-the-mouth /oส/, ending that doesn't really close at all. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Its job in a lyric is a word the lyric earns weight from by context, holding down whatever line it lands in. Search rhymes for stowe long enough and you notice the pattern: strict rhymes are abundant, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Stay in the perfect column for as long as it surprises you, then drift outward.
