Line Gauthier Poet Pantoum

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

Pandita Sietesantos March 23, 2018 at 6:17 PM 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.

Paul Callus March 23, 2018 at 11:22 AM 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 Line Gauthier March 23, 2018 at 12:51 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Paul.
