Pantoum
A poem with a verse form consisting of three or more stanzas. It has a set pattern within the poem of repetitive lines. The pattern in each stanza is where the second and fourth line of each verse is repeated as the first and third of the next. The pattern changes though for the last stanza to the first and third line are the second and fourth of the stanza above (penultimate). The last line is a repeat of the first line of the poem and the third line of the first is the second of the last. No rhyme required.
Suddenly, ebony's bursting with light
like an effervescent fountain of sparks.
And exploding stars saturate the night
as folks fire rockets in backyards and parks.
Like an effervescent fountain of sparks,
oohs and ahs erupt in instant applause.
As folks fire rockets in backyards and parks,
the fireworks place reality on pause.
Oohs and ahs erupt in instant applause,
and exploding stars saturate the night.
The fireworks place reality on pause,
suddenly ebony's bursting with light.
