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! 1- 2-2021

So true Joseph, after two and a half years on this site and trying different forms of poetry, what you say is quite possible, I will remember it in future. Great write, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

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. ~~
