31st Of October Eve

Hark, brazen tis starry-eyed moon hath visit yon October night,
Dwelt autumn leaves hath slumbereth, for hazel eyes favor,
Pivotal moments adrift blesseth assured aims to thine wares,
Be humbled forthwith, and shew thy cares, be they knowest,

Dwelt autumn leaves hath slumbereth, for hazel eyes favor,
Whimsical path brews of small chatter of sought souvenir,
Be humbled forthwith, and shew thy cares, be they knowest,
Tap at the door, squeaks then echoes, unladen treats for sweets,

Whimsical path brews of small chatter of sought souvenir,
Pivotal moments adrift blesseth assured aims to thine wares,
Tap at the door, squeaks then echoes, unladen treats for sweets,
Hark, brazen tis starry-eyed moon hath visit yon October night.

Mystic Rose Rose October 13, 2019 at 6:11 AM Hi, I enjoyed your beautiful poem and example, I have a question. Do you prefer one in old English or do you want it in regular English. ? I will give it a try. Thanks for the sample. . Aloha . William Kelii Kekaula October 13, 2019 at 9:40 AM Either form will be fine, entrants choice ~ Aloha always William

CayCay Godwin October 2, 2019 at 8:40 PM Well done, loved the old style of English you employed to paint each line. There is extra depth when lines are thus written for they bring a certain flavored intensity to the poems entirety. An impressive Pantoum indeed! Poetry hugs ...

Eileen Manassian October 1, 2019 at 1:46 AM I don't think I've ever written a pantoum. I've written terzanelle before. Interesting imagery throughout the poem. Thanks for your visit to my work.
