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) :-)

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

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! :-)
