Your Pantoum is such that would seem to have a life of its own - so lovely. That takes great skill as a writer. Congratulations! Suzanne.

So well written Suz, I've only tried this form once and found it a struggle. You've made it look easy, I hope you are keeping well. Tom

Hi Tom: I encourage you to take a look at Joseph’s Contest. If you set out one of his 4 line quotes I am sure you can fill in a couple of lines needed. These things practically write themselves. Best, SuZ

Thanks Line: I have only tried ths form a couple of times. Glad to hear it worked. Kind of magic how they seem to write themselves once you have the first four lines. Cheers, SuZ

Lovely:) Pantoums when written well (like this one) seem to just roll off the tongue. A most pleasant read, SuZ:)
