On the Fence

It would be wonderful if it were true Battling preposterous pros and cons Tormenting entwining glances How much longer can this go on Battling preposterous pros and cons If only you were older or I younger How much longer can this go on They say age shouldn’t matter If only you were older or I younger Tormenting entwining glances They say age shouldn’t matter It would be wonderful if it were true AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on March 23, 2018 fro contest FAVORITE PANTOUM sponsored by LAURA LOO

My dear Line, you have mastered this form as reflected in this most amazing Pantoum! It is so wonderfully crafted with smooth transitions and thought connections - excellently conceptualized. I am sure this will be high on the winners' list! Best wishes and hugs. Pandita

A very good Pantoum, Line, in which you get the readers to think and participate. Age shouldn't matter, but I am sure that in certain things older people have an edge over younger ones:) Regards // paul
