On Writing a Pantoum

Pantoums are like Rubik's cubes, but not as satisfying to throw.

Lol! So true! I love this P.S. Pantoums are exasperating little beasts and your monoku expresses your angst and wit perfectly. I hate Rubik’s cubes but, as vexing as they are, I do love a wonderful Pantoum. Warmest wishes always, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

Thank you. So good to see your avatar! Yes, though trying to write one ties my brain in knots I do appreciate reading a good pantoum. <3

Have a care, lest the ‘Poetically correct’ authority get you for Pantoumism. I love your observation so your secret is safe with me, PS.

Oh, that's hilarious, P.S. I've often said that some of the contests seem more like puzzles than creative exercises. I didn't find the pantoum form to be too difficult, but you can probably write haiku. I can appreciate the angst expressed here. Thanks for the laugh! Best wishes, Carolyn
