Stifling a Giggle

Nonchalantly they practised skating artistically, Both are considered champions in their own right, At one point they separated, each to his own end When he suddenly fell, unbecomingly on the ice. Both are considered champions in their own right One could see the surprise on her face. When he suddenly fell unbecomingly on the ice. Hands went to her dainty mouth to stifle a giggle. One could see the surprise on her face, At one point they separated, each to his own end Hands went to her dainty mouth to stifle a giggle. Nonchalantly they practised skating artistically.

Laughter is the sound we should all be hoping for if we want a better world. That and music to sooth the savage beast. Perfect poem for any time of year but more so leading into the silly season. Happy holidays David in NZ

Only after a few fall, one will become an expert. I have seen many people laughing when another falls down. It could be an innocent gesture, but quite provoking too. You have handled this tough poetic form with much perfection.

Even champions take a tumble now and then! I love this amusing, lighthearted, fantastic pantoum. ;)

I agree with EVE, such excellent creative imaginative thoughts. We can only feel blessed that we are within a group or troupe that exchanges their poetic, artistic writes with one another. Blessings and hugs, JENNIFER

I like this a lot, Victor. This captures the essence of the unrhymed Pantoum, and I enjoyed it immensely.

A scene well conveyed, Victor. I can see the reaction on her face.
