Question

Help with this sentence please, it's for a poem.
"This life is sanction"
How can I make this sentence proper? It doesn't sound right.

Answer 1

Would, this life is sanctioned, work? or, this life a sanction.

Answer 2

In this case sanction means ok

Answer 3

it's a poem, while it's technically not grammatically correct, it does not make you sound stupid, and so if it fits best in the poem, use it.

Answer 4

If you add an "ed" to the end, it likely won't sound all that strange. It's just one extra syllable. Though, I guess it would depend on what you are trying to rhyme it with. :)

Answer 5

Thank you both!
