Monologos

Post by Neville Briggs » Mon Jan 10, 2011 4:18 pm

I've written a one word poem, I call it....

MONOLOGOS



Floccinaucinihilipilification.



Neville Briggs


p.s. The word means the action or habit of estimating something as worthless, which is probably the reaction of the viewers to my poem.

Well Neville, are you going to complete your hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian piece in a rhyme?
(One word is very monotonous) ... :o

Manfred. It must rhyme, after all it is only one word, a perfect rhyme. And it must scan, the metre is perfectly consistent with itself. :)

Last year at Dunedoo, Milton Taylor did a two word poem. It didn't rhyme or scan, It was free verse :o

Or this could be the second line in abab pattern

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolocanoconiosis

A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis.

Sorry Nev, "a rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words"

You never fail to amuse, intrigue and educate us Neville.

I agree with Manfred though. For there to be a rhyme you must have two words.
