The Pantoum
(sample given as image above)
To write a good Pantoum
one must follow the rules;
this unique form allows
duplicate lines to form-
and emphasis, arouse.
To write a good Pantoum-
four stanzas plus must be.
Second, and the fourth line,
repeat as first and third-
in next stanza's design.
To write a good Pantoum
last stanza's final line
repeats top's number one;
first stanza's third line fits
last stanza's second- done!
To write a good Pantoum
repeating lines is part;
Tho words remain the same-
the meanings often change;
good word choice is the aim.
