What is the name of the class of French-language rhymed couplets in which the entire first line sounds just like the entire second line, except that the lines have two different meanings and the two lines together make up a meaningful couplet? Also, where can I find examples of these on the Internet? |

Dear nyken, This kind of short poem is called "poème holorime", "vers holorimes", or simply "holorime". Other names are "vers olorimes", "vers millionnaires", and "vers homophones". Here are some websites with examples of French poèmes holorimes: Fatrazie: Holorimes http://worldserver2.oleane.com/fatrazie/Holorimes.htm Philolittérement: Vers olorimes http://pages.infinit.net/plotin11/olorimes.htm Le Bric-à-brac de Sylvain: Vers (h)olorimes http://www.bric-a-brac.org/lettres/olorimes.php Sources: Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia: Poème holorime (in French) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Po%E8me_holorime Everything2: Holorime http://www.everything2.net/index.pl?node_id=1324724&lastnode_id=655029 Search terms used: holorime ://www.google.de/search?q=holorime&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=de&meta= holorimes ://www.google.de/search?q=holorimes&hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&newwindow=1&start=0&sa=N vers olorimes ://www.google.de/search?hl=de&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&newwindow=1&q=vers+olorimes&btnG=Google+Suche&meta= Special thanks to my dear colleague pinkfreud-ga for reviving my memory.
