Marked by oddness; strange
When comes the ferry of the curious stare / From ports beyond horizons of the oddsome lobe, / The island hides its nature from the littoral glare / And lets the windblown dunes it's soul enrobe.
2014, Gardiner M. Weir, A Life of Memories:“'Tis an oddsome thing. They all be looking for you, and I, who wanted only to run off, stumble across you. Good fortune for me, as Lord Mandrake has promised a reward.”
2016, Karen Cushman, Grayling's Song:
