Xanthippe
A woman who is quite bossy
Domineering and haughty
Is the overbearing Xanthippe
Argumentative at best
The name apparently possessed
By the younger wife of Socrates
Xanthochroid
I have found that Xanthochroid
Is a word that is employed
When referring to one whose complexion
Is one that is mostly fair
A person who is blond of hair
With blue eyes too upon closer inspection
Xanthous
Once I came across a bloke
Who had himself a xanthous goat
And by that I mean this goat was yellow!
What a strange thing to occur
A goat with only yellow fur
The colour of an egg yolk light and sallow.
Xenogamy
Some of us are probably
Guilty of xenogamy
At least if gardening is your occupation
To take the pollen of a flower
And put it in another flower
Practicing what’s called cross-polination
Xenoglossia
If someone should one day go
And speak a language they don’t know
Xenoglossia is what they’ve done
Something not left just to chance
But is achieved when in a trance
A prospect believed possible by some.
Words that begin with...
