Rantipole
by Rachel Hoyt
A rantipole,
Is a rakish soul,
Has 'going' as a goal,
Plays the wild and young role -
The rantipole.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.
Reminds me of another of my favorite words: Rapscallion!
ReplyDeleteRapscallions and rantipoles probably have their own gang. :)
DeleteSo does that mean a rantipole could be described as rantipolish? Sounds shiny, and angry :)
ReplyDeleteYep! Although, that form is used even less often than rantipole. :)
DeleteExcellent! Love your poems! Look forward to Wednesday's poem just like Sunday's Postsecret post.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Sunday's Postsecret post? Sounds fun. :) I'm glad you like WWW so much!
Deletewhat an interesting word...fun to say as well..ha
ReplyDeleteI like the way it bounces off my tongue. :)
DeleteWonder if that's where "rant" came from? Great word Rachel! Thank you :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is quite possible since a rantipoles behavior might make you want to ramble harsh words of advice. :)
DeleteThat's a fun word, and a fun definition too. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you "other Mary". :)
DeleteI love the word & the way you use it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary! :)
DeleteFun and interesting word :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ayala. :)
