Where have they gone, those days of old: their melody- simple and sweet; a blending of the joys that hold warm thoughts in memories' retreat. Their melody- simple and sweet: fires burning, loved ones gathered near; warm thoughts in memories' retreat- that peace that hovered to hold dear. Fires burning, loved ones gathered near; chores done, the evening shared with zest. That peace that hovered to hold dear life's humble ways and means as best. Chores done, the evening shared with zest. A blending of the joys that hold life's humble ways and means as best. Where have they gone, those days of old?

I can see why this was one of the top pantoums, Sandra. It's very impressive the way you write this, and I hardly even notice the repeating lines. Your sentimentality tugs on the heart strings ... where they have gone? :( :) --- it's a smile-frown kinda moment.

Hi Sandra, Congratulations on your win in the contest. Always your words seem to paint such gentle pictures . They gently flow down the page. Somehow the gentle way you write always brings me an inner peace. The images flow through the mind and this becomes a wonderful Pantoum. An excellent Pantoum Sandra. It goes into my faves and is a definite seven. Hugs....Mike. XX
