New poetry form ???
Pentesam~Any number of five line stanzas in iambic pentameter, rhyme pattern ababb. Example: (First one ever). Improperly Pok't
Woulds't poking come more noble in the dark Where not a prying eye is wont to see Or pok't in darkness might he miss the mark And leave thee with abrasions on thy knee Time spent, methinks, in practice is the key ·······  ······· Values are to integrity as spirit to spirituality ... the one is needed that the other is sustained ~ Sam

Hello Sam - I found this in the Oxford English Dictionary - I remember this word being in use in English poetry when I was a child -
" ... was ever wont to wander." wont /wont/ • adjective archaic or literary accustomed. • noun (one’s wont) formal or humorous one’s customary behaviour. • verb (3rd sing. present wonts or wont; past and past part. wont or wonted) archaic make or become accustomed. — ORIGIN Old English. ······· ······· |

QUOTE (Sekhmet @ Jun 26 10, 09:33 )  Hello Sam - I found this in the Oxford English Dictionary - I remember this word being in use in English poetry when I was a child - " ... was ever wont to wander." wont /wont/ • adjective archaic or literary accustomed. • noun (one’s wont) formal or humorous one’s customary behaviour. • verb (3rd sing. present wonts or wont; past and past part. wont or wonted) archaic make or become accustomed. — ORIGIN Old English. M'k ... by these accounts I'm going to give 'wont' a nod and let it stay. Much like you said, sometimes I'll read a word or passage and just by its novel placement, it will stick in my head and I'll pull it out at some point in time. I do NOT research every idiom that pops up while writing. I probably should. Thanks so much for the solid, printed reference you've given. sam ······· ······· Values are to integrity as spirit to spirituality ... the one is needed that the other is sustained ~ Sam
