No, none of the words you listed rhyme with purple.
Reply:No. To rhyme the vowel sound needs to be similar as well. none of those do.
Reply:No. If it rhymes with "purple" it has to have the "urple" part in the word, which is impossible because no word ends with "urple". For instance, if this was a word, yurple, that would rhyme
Reply:No, sorry.
Reply:Do you understand the concept of "rhyme?" NONE of those words rhyme with "purple!"
Reply:but they don really sound like it


but what about shutuple
Reply:Not quite - although you did rhyme a bit:





steeple - people





simple - pimple- dimple





maple-staple





apple - grapple.





According to http://www.rhymezone.com, "Words and phrases that rhyme with purple: (0 results) Sorry, no perfect rhymes were found."





That being said, seems that even Shakespeare didn't rhyme his purples and only used them as adjectives or adverbs ;)

Reply:Not true rhymes - simple rhymes with dimple but not with purple.
Reply:No.
Reply:No, but murple slurple does! It's what my friend's little girl calls maple syrup.
Reply:Technically to my knowledge only the very last part of a word has to sound the same to rhyme so I have yet to see a word I can't find one to rhyme with. Someone else try to a word and then after-wards put "only rhymes with proper nouns" well if its in the English language its in the language I can understand though someones argument between chaos and Tejas because Tejas is technically Spanish for Texas but for one there is cities in America named it and for two most of our words are from other languages anyway such as: fiancee, rodeo, even excetera, and on a last note by the laws of the English language only the last syllable of a word has to sound the same pur-ple two syllables the last being ple.
Reply:In order for two words to rhyme, the last stressed vowel sound and all following sounds must be the same. Since "purple" is stressed on the first syllable, a rhyming word would have to end in "urple."
Reply:I used to write poety and it was alliteration, assonance and rhyme -- words have similar sounds at the beginning, middle, and end, respective. Another way of understanding these terms is rhyming at the beginning, middle or end of words, respectively. Assonance, in my opinion was the hardest for me to write in rhymes with alliteration being the easiest. For some people writing in traditional rhymes is the easiest because poetry allowed for "sight" rhyme or "eye" rhyme.





So yes, those words you've listed are sight rhymes. Since rhymes can be quite complex, you might try alliteration with "purple:"





The perfect purple gem was lost on purpose.
