Silent One Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

Someone Like You

I'll find a  remedy for my broken heart.
A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.
I couldn't make you feel my love, from the start.
I'll find someone like you, I'll search for a clone.

A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.
All I ask is don't come back with a hello.
I'll find someone like you, I'll search for a clone.
I'll keep chasing pavements to find that rainbow.

All I ask is don't come back with a hello.
One last goodbye to your sweetest devotion.
I'll keep chasing pavements to find that rainbow,
Set fire to the rain and show no emotion.

One last goodbye to your sweetest devotion.
No turning tables, stop rolling in the deep.
Set fire to the rain and show no emotion,
its water under the bridge, I shall not weep.

No turning tables, stop rolling in the deep.
Rumour has it, there's a new name on your tongue.
Its water under the bridge, I shall not weep.
Forget broken promises, from when we were young.

Rumour has it, there's a new name on your tongue.
I couldn't make you feel my love, from the start.
Forget broken promises, from when we were young.
I'll find a  remedy for my broken heart.

Bette Bavington September 20, 2018 at 11:43 PM Adele I do not know. Yet this pantoum was very well done. To use song titles was excellent. I did one one time out of book titles. Thank you for the visit.

Kristina Whitmore December 1, 2017 at 2:27 PM A very constructive write that inspired my inner heart into someone like you song...Yet I have lost my love for music and am not as passionate about my talent as I used to be. This poem is a great use of song titles and very creative.

Andrea Dietrich November 20, 2017 at 11:47 PM Well done. It's difficult enough doing pantoum without adding this complication of the song titles into the mix. Weren't you the judge that had us do this a long time ago? Or maybe we were doing any kind of poem we wanted! Silent One November 21, 2017 at 7:52 AM Yes you are right, that is exactly what I did.. was some great poems.. thank you for the feedback..

Eileen Manassian November 18, 2017 at 2:58 AM oh...I was wondering why those words are in bold. Now I get it. I guess you really like Adele. The form seems complicated to me, but you pulled it off. Silent One November 19, 2017 at 6:47 AM Thank you Eileen, I have done a few on different artists, thought I would give Adele a try..

Susan Ashley November 17, 2017 at 8:41 PM Silent One, a lovely and melancholic write about heartbreak using Adele's song titles deftly woven together with your wonderful words. You captured the sad emotions effectively with your skilled pen. Enthralling write! Susan Ashley November 19, 2017 at 9:35 AM Hmm.., 'MAYBE TOMORROW, with a poem I'll fly - To my muse, I NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE'.., whooo whooo baby, never can say goodbye no no no no no no ohhhhh.... lol! Sorry got carried away there... :) J5 titles - we'll see what the future holds... Silent One November 19, 2017 at 6:47 AM Thank you Susan, would be great to see you do an artist with your great pantoum skills..

Maria Williams November 17, 2017 at 5:50 PM Oh wow you have done it again. This time with one of my favourite singers, crafting those song titles into a poem that makes sense is a feat in itself. Bravo....Maria Silent One November 19, 2017 at 6:48 AM Thank you Maria, when using music titles it can be difficult, but this one is really a simple one using her songs..

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 17, 2017 at 10:43 AM Another pantoum masterpiece, Maestro SO! You got this elevated intricate musical template down to a science. If I recall correctly, you did Frank Sinatra songs in a pantoum form. Brilliant poetry as always from your glowing pen. Love and joy always. Silent One November 17, 2017 at 2:25 PM Thank you Freddie, not too happy with this one, almost did not post it.. I have done Frankie, Elvis, Beatles, Michael Jackson, Queen and one on musicals...

John Hamilton November 17, 2017 at 9:02 AM This is really amazing SO, I find this form daunting, I don't know why, but anyway you seem to write pantoums with relative ease, this is a great example...love Adele! Silent One November 17, 2017 at 9:11 AM Thank you John, once you have the first few lines, it gets easier, the tricky part is getting the lines in the first stanza to flow with the last ones..
