Tantum Poems | Examples

~   each moment that I spend wrapped in your wings,

          means one less wasted 'midst those lesser things   ~








* This is a new form I've created called "Rithimus Duo Tantum", which means simply, "rhyme two only", and is made up of two lines of Rhyme taken from a previously written piece in their original order. (This was taken from a poem called "Afflatus"). Not really a form as such in itself, as there are MANY two-lined rhymes already, but I intend to use it for upcoming contests I will run, and needed to give it a designation. *

Proper

Supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus...
A nonsensical, romantical made up word they said.
Umbrella to ground the Lady comes down to check
The handy Voice....

super she said,
a laugh.ing ragalia!
on her head.list of
icepixals, crystals
and dos! gosh! but
hush ... what does
SHE know. She
drives an umbrella...anyway...

I guess you could say
they're nice pix.alls, all
the same.

Properly...
Regalia is Latin plurale tantum for
the privileges and the insignia characteristic of a
Sovereign. ;)


Supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus...
... either that or it means
Super.Gal.leo.has gone in.sane.again...
with her gal.i.Legos...

Let's go with Regalia ...
it would make for a better tale where a girl
might get a price if a frog doesn't eat her leggs off first. :)
~ Just a joke of course.

~ She's got Legos.
