Ain't there?
Why not aren't there? "Ain't" should be avoided. It is considered careless speech. Aren't ain't! ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

QUOTE Spooked tongue? Is that a dialect? It's certainly not what I ended my Cinquain with in this string. ---------------------------- Why? That's superfluous, gratuitous usage of contractions. Contract "(Joy is) not there". ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Dear Larry,

No problem Alan, I'm just messing with semantics myself. I'll restart the string with your last two syllable word.
