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

Hi Lori;
This is one reason I dumped this in Karnak ... I'm not sure on the 'wont'. I believe that I have heard and read it used in this context (archaic), but I 'wont' put any money on it. Form? I DID research and I can't find this particular one. I made it up, then went looking for it. It may be MINE! I do have a reason. Usually sonnets are 14 lines. Most of my poems run a bit long. I found Rhyme Royale, but the seven line stanzas have just never felt natural to me with the rhyme pattern used in them. The five liners are much easier and by my own standard I can make the poem as long as I want. If the form turns out to be original, the name can certainly be better. Thanks for reading.
