New Words
Kakorrhaphiophobia (= fear of failure)
I’ve found a new word!
Now can’t wait to enjoy it
To run it round my tongue
And then to suitably deploy it
I’ll include it in a passage
In a story, in a poem
Or slyly slip it in to keep
A conversion flowing
Tittynope (= a small quantity of anything left over)
I’ve found a new word!
And also learnt its meaning
It’s looking good, it’s sounding good
Attractive and appealing
I’ll select it for a sentence
For a paragraph, a title
I’ll use it in my next book
A performance or recital
Jentacular (= relating to breakfast)
I’ve found a new word!
Uncommon and exciting
To help me grow my vocab
And improve my future writing
I’ll add it to a manuscript
Blank verse, a speech, a lyric
Here comes my new word for today
That’s totally terrific...
Peroration (= end of a speech intended to inspire audience enthusiasm)
