Typically, a pantoum is made up of two rhyming couplets, however, Western writers altered and adapted the form, the importance of rhyming and brevity diminished. So, pantoums do not need to rhyme.

I started off writing a poem with a rhyme scheme of A/B/A/B C/C D/D with 9 syllables per line for an example to write the Pantoum Rhyme poem. You can also use a Monorhyme scheme.
1 Autumn's moon endowed against the sky. A
2 Night brief lull in early calm slumber, B
3 While nature's errs hurled into good-bye; A
4 Crisp veiling life into a wonder. B
5 Adorn quaking leaves as if they sigh C
6 Before the breeze has gleaned a reply. C
7 Drifting round umber earth rushing burr; D
8 Warm coals soothe the time, no more summer. D
Then I copied and pasted each line in the order they are supposed to be for a Pantoum form.
A/B/A/B
B/C/B/C
C/D/C/D
D/ 3A / D/ 1A
.... D - "A", is the second line of the first stanza... D - " A" , is the first line of the first stanza
