I would frown upon it, of course. It's too easy an escape for a true poet. :)

And I'm absolutely happy to hear that because, following the logic of this statement, your interest in writing verses in general has not been waning :-)
By the way, they say that there're no standalone words that make a perfect rhyme with orange, discombobulate, and some other words.

Seeing the word include, which perfectly (IMO) rhymes with conclude and occlude (let alone exclude), I wonder if such a rhyming would sound as ridiculous to the native English speakers as that in the following video sounds to us:

As it seems, the word 'include' is not included in the list - it just introduces it. 😉Other words that have no rhyme include: silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon and discombobulate.
Why,
silver - desilver,
ninth - 59th,
wolf - werewolf, of course!
opus - magnum opus, definitely!
Or, with a twist,
opus - octOpus!
🤣
And, on a more serious note:
The former happens to be orange sometimes. =)sporange
Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant).
Orange rhymes with sporange (a technical word for sac where spores are made) and Blorenge (a mountain in Wales).
And, back to a less serious note: the latter sounds exactly like another - portmanteau - neologism BLORANGE [sic, spelt differently from the mount], which turns out to be a colour itself!
orange - blorange, perfect, innit?

To not step into someone's crap
Or, worse still, get caught in a wolf trap,
I slowed my pace and watched my step
When I was nearing the steppe.
[mention]acapnotic[/mention], Now it's your move. What will you parry this piece of crap with?

LOL!
Whom are you saying this to?:) As far as the poetry goes, I'm as black a pot as a kettle is)))
I can't remember the term for the "lengthy nap" word pair. I mean that a nap is usually a short sleep, especially during the day to need so serious a preparation before taking it, a nap, not a crap)))
If you are going to take a nap,
Is there a need for taking a crap?

acapnotic,
Speaking of true poets, here's what came into my mind--and you can cite me on that (LOL!):
Only a true poet knows how like, in its intensity, the excruciating physical pain of a woman giving birth to her child the debilitating mental pain of a poet creating a new poem can be.
I wonder if you guess whence the style it was written in is:-)

Do you mean you don't remember your coming across (and being kind of puzzled by) a similarly structured sentence in The Big Time by Fritz Leiber?
Or was it in one of my weird dreams that I came upon such an oddly structured sentence on this sub-forum, in the thread where it was thoroughly discussed? :-)
