    • 2014, Gardiner M. Weir, A Life of Memories:
      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.
    • 2016, Karen Cushman, Grayling's Song:
      “'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.”
