Thresha Reese Poet Pantoum

Muse: a Pantoum

cloistered in this dark chamber     
a somber muse keeps me captive   
ringed in by gloomy colors              
obscured inside her pitchy tower    

a somber muse keeps me captive   
with only a pen and paper              
obscured inside her pitchy tower  
i write poetry for my captor	     

with only a pen and paper              
dressed in umber i stay active	     
i write poetry for my captor          
and play a part in her theater        

dressed in umber i stay active     
i write for you her reader        
and play a part in her theater 			     
cloistered in this dark chamber


* this muse (she) could just as well be male  (he) :-)

Silent One December 7, 2017 at 6:20 AM This is a deep poem Thresha, but you need another stanza. In the last stanza, it should have verse one as the last and verse three, second in the stanza. For example: dressed in umber i stay active ringed in by gloomy colors and play a part in her theater cloistered in this dark chamber Thresha Reese December 7, 2017 at 12:04 PM Stanza 4 : G then I (or A or C) then H then J (or A or C) I was thinking I'd gotten it right, but OUCH my brain when poetry becomes like math. Thank you for your revision. Gonna keep trying. I can do this! :-)
