Writing a poem, such as a haiku, couplet, or limerick, and need to find a word that rhymes with the name of a food?

Perhaps there is a special someone in your life and you want to write them a love poem, but can't think of attractive rhymes for their name ("malice" just doesn't seem to work with "Alice").

Or, maybe you have a fascinating song lyric about mountains and need to write a refrain with several rhymes to the phrase "on high"?

The following sites offer rhyming dictionaries where you may be able to find a word or phrase that rhymes with your desired query:

RhymeZone displays rhymes, synonyms, definitions, and more for your desired word.
