Contest Description
A pantoum poem using music titles from a musician or musical. I have done a few of these featuring Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, musicals and Elvis.
NEW poems only. DATE your poem.
Please list the titles in the poem.
Mention the musician, as I might now know who it is.
Your pantoum does not have to rhyme or have a syllable count, but those that do will probably finish higher. All mine rhyme and have a syllable count.
Below are my pantoums that are done in this style and an explanation what a pantoum is.

A rare form of poetry. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and
fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the
next. This pattern continues for any number of stanzas, except for the final
stanza, which differs in the repeating pattern. The first and third lines of
the last stanza are the second and fourth of the penultimate; the first line of
the poem is the last line of the final stanza, and the third line of the first
stanza is the second of the final. Ideally, the meaning of lines shifts when
they are repeated although the words remain exactly the same: this can be done
by shifting punctuation, punning, or simply recontextualizing.
It does not have to rhyme nor have a syllable restriction.
