Pentad~new poetic form? Options

[4rum]

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

Hi Larry,

Good to see you!!! It's been a while. Please do not take offense at my comment to Sam regarding the Cinquain - I see now what parts you are comparing it to - however, there is so much more to a Cinquain besides the Params of rhyme scheme, that I actually felt there was many other forms that it might have been a variant on.

I suppose my whole point to that comment was to give Sam a thumbs up that so far, the form, although simular is new to me!

I use to be a Cinquain Queen, in my earlier days. I too, for simular reasons as your own, don't find them that exciting - actually they are quite hard to create one that is in the TRUE sense of a Cinquain. I however, use them for filler poems in manuscripts... or links from one poem into another where there is a relationship but fully stand alone poems.

I also LOVE the Rictameters. I think they offer a little more for the poet to dabble with, however they are my filler poems as well.

I truly understand about variations on poems. I myself, created the Quatrain Refrain (named by Lori) and although there are a few simular forms, I haven't come across anything exact etiher.

Again, please accept my apology if you had taken it personal. It wasn't meant in that way, merely a way for me to give support to his desire to expand in his poetic acheievements.

So good to see you ... Miss your poetry as always ... as I am a meter woMan myself!

Best Wishes, Liz
