As sable floats the shadowed night I stand in true love's disrepair beneath a host of haloed light this lamp shines in the autumn air. I stand in true love's disrepair, of nuptials do my dreams now flow. This lamp shines in the autumn air corona of an opal glow. Of nuptials do my dreams now flow, my thoughts of crimson honeymoons. Corona of an opal glow now whispers vows and passioned runes. My thoughts of crimson honeymoons, beneath a host of haloed light, now whisper vows and passioned runes as sable floats the shadowed night.

Dale, the first thing I always do with a pantoum, is read the final stanza before moving on to the whole of the poem. If the final stanza doesn't read smoothly and flawless, the pantoum isn't a good one. But yours does deliver! It is beautiful, dark.

Well constructed Pantoum, which I love, reads so smoothly makes me shiver a little.
