Although September is one of many random and capricious days, this observance focuses on specific words.. Words that don't rhyme with any other word are called refractory rhymes. The reason that Poets' poetry stays consistent is because avoiding these words helps keep their poetry consistent. However, refractory words only appear in poems where rhyme and reason are relevant.
These revealing words are taken by a less prolific writer. Toss out the rhymes... Say farewell to meter. Be imaginative and playful. Lewis Carrol was never stopped by the Jabberwocky never stopped him. Dilly dimmer in mishmash to find a verse that captures the day's spirit. Deliver an envelope full of words straight up the chimney. Tilt the accent one way and lilt it another until the word fits in fluttery ways...
There needs to be no reason nor rhyme for that matter. Not all poems do. If you're looking for the perfect rhyme, you could dive deep as Alexander Atkins did in 2014 and search a little bit harder for the perfect rhyme. Check out his website that stretches the edges of the word to fill the void left by refractory rhymes..
