I Was Always Told

A gentle kiss will make it feel better; I was always told as a child growing up. Did it really or did it matter? As a pup, you believed what they made-up. I was always told as a child growing up; taking without permission is stealing. As a pup, you believed what they made-up. A sweet kiss I stole while she lay sleeping. Taking without permission is stealing. I took her by the hand made her my wife. A sweet kiss I stole while she lay sleeping. Nights filled with slumber, her lips devour my life. I took her by the hand made her my wife. Did it really or did it matter? Nights filled with slumber, her lips devour my life, a gentle kiss will make it feel better. 6/2/2017 Contest Name: Rhyme Battle: Round 7 Sponsored by: Juli- Michelle

Eve, this is a really great pantoum. Looks like written from a man's point of view, so if I were the judge, I would never know it was you writing this! LOVE it.also loved the internal writing of pup with made up.

What a lovely Pantoum, Eve! Initially I though this was for BW's 'P' contest. Little children are told many things; most of them become the basis of our grown-up life. ~ Warm regards // paul

Beautiful ... Your Pantoums are always musical ... both because of rhyming and the organized repetitions ... lovely ...
