Pher-O-moned! Doh! Now I have to fix the iambic pentameter unless I want it to be "loose". Note to self: when the online editor puts a red, squiggly line under a word, you might want to re-check it.
The line breaks are what they are because I was aiming for a sestet (six-liner) with an ababcc rhyme scheme. Maybe my enjambment was too aggressive and the rhyme doesn't stick out enough. I'll wait and see if anyone else thinks the enjambment is counter-productive.
However, I'm going to keep "pheromoned" as a verb, since I was thinking of pheromone as a parallel of perfume, which I've seen used as a verb; perfume, perfumed; pheromone, pheromoned.
Thanks for reading and replying,
Scott
