A rhyming acrostic
A chapter in the book A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
Opiniatres

Today's word: opiniatre (n). an opinionated person.
Go on, say it - I dare you!
As far as I can tell, this is a French word, and doesn't appear in English dictionaries. Nevertheless, it's in my book, so must be used. I've employed the plural form.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
