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

Thanks Larry for your very detailed introspect into this discussion.

Basically I have a poem to write. It is to be a sequal. I'm not eager to follow the form of the first poem. I went looking for a form which suited my particular need. There may be many, I didn't find any.

If we look far enough back I suppose, we will find that there is actually only one form of written expression. I've explored as far as I need to. I've done a couple of writings using the five lines and it seems to work for me.

The incentive for the search was never to 'invent' anything. With time and effort I imagine I could disqualify almost any form recognized today by "the poetry world" (which in itself might require some definition if we wish to pick nits).

If nothing else the discussion has provided me with much invaluable knowledge that I did not have before. I thank each and every one of you for your guidance.
