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.
If we had never met,
it's frightening to imagine
what my life would be like
it's such an impossible thought.
It's frightening to imagine,
how different my life would be
it's such an impossible thought
you mean everything to me.
How different my life would be
if destiny had not brought us together,
you mean everything to me
you're my one reason for living.
If destiny had not brought us together
it's incomprehensible,
you're my one reason for living
I'd have missed out on loving you.
It's incomprehensible,
what my life would be like,
I'd have missed out on loving you
if we had never met.
