Univocalic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A univocalic is a type of poem that uses only one vowel (i.e., only uses one of A, E, I, O, or U).
One of the best-known univocalic poems was written by C.C. Bombaugh in 1890, centred on the vowel "o". Here's a sample couplet:
- No cool monsoons blow soft on Oxford dons,
- Orthodox, jog-trot, book-worm Solomons
Bombaugh's work is still in print, and his Gleanings from the Harvest-Fields of Literature in particular is full of oddities of this kind.
Another example of univocalic poems is christian book's text eunoia.
