Changing Forms

Trying to write a Pantoum is fine
 But what if you miss a line
 Then it becomes a pain
 When you have the wrong refrain
 Then Rhyme is the form you assign!

ha, yes, you can always just call it rhyme! I've actually had to do that a few times when I messed up a form such as pantoum. Good one.

I'm not really good at forms. I just know what I like. I usually go by the message and if it has good rhythm and if I can understand it. Good stuff here Joseph. God Bless, JB

Missing a line spoils the pantoum. I have made mistakes in the past, but I check often. ~~

I will run with that suggestion. Well said, Joseph.
