Challenge Me

This here I declare my first
attempt at the amazing pantoum
In my virulent, insatiable thirst
to impress all the poets in the room

Why do I love the amazing pantoum?
that's a question with an easy answer
it impresses all poets in the room
and provides the crowd with excellent banter

Questions with the easiest answers
However, do nothing to test my brain
Yes, the crowds speak with excellent banter
But I want to push myself with each quatrain

I need, I yearn to test my brain
I demand challenge and games
I push the envelope with each quatrain
Before my skills do dwindle and wane

All I want are challenging games
to slake my insatiable thirst
and I've not one pantoum to my name
So here I declare my first

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
