Monologos
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.

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

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.
