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,

Thanks for views. Yeah, I looked at 'most every form I could find. Read a good deal about cinquain's. I've done a couple of more serious pieces in the form here though. It seems more than 'just' a cinquain. Guess it depends largely on the point of view. No matter, I like this form pretty good and it has advantages (for me) over the English Sonnet or the Rime Royale.

Guess I could have went with 'five and dime' ... five lines, 10 syllables ... (iambic pentameter) rolleyes.gif
