I watch moonbeams dance on an inky sea Clouds drift on by, oh how the moon does shine Moonlight shadows always fascinate me This ever-changing scene is so divine Clouds drift on by, oh how the moon does shine As I stroll down to the sea late at night This ever-changing scene is so divine Stars are twinkling, giving celestial light As I stroll down to the sea late at night I’m captivated by such stunning skies Stars are twinkling, giving celestial light Until the morning sun begins to rise I’m captivated by such stunning skies Moonlight shadows always fascinate me Until the morning sun begins to rise I watch moonbeams dance on an inky sea 22~03~16

Hi Jan. Just stumbled over this one when trying to get my head around the Pantoum form for a (non-Contest) piece I'm trying to write. Lovely example and, if I could put together something that's even half as good as this, I'll be delighted! Congrats on your well-deserved win! Regards, John.

I was pleasantly surprised to see your name here Jan, didn't know you did pantoum's, this is really great work. Although generally Pantoums don't score high on my scale because of the repetition,this one got 34/40 so a nice second place win!

On Sunday night we were driving home - about an hour's drive - over the bay the moon was glistening on the inky water and it was just like I had described in my poem - I have written so many poems in a short time i forget what i have written lol:-) hugs Jan x
