So - I've had a request for Pantoums... We can do that..

But - I think we should salt that with a few good Limericks in honor of the leprechauns, whatcha think??

Oké, I've looked it up.

But, a Pantoum has a strict pattern, how do I have to get the limmerick in?????

I think I'm going to like this one.

Nan, I would like to try a Pantoum, but I don't know what a pantoum is, or how to do one?

Pantoum (French)
A French verse form of four quatrains that repeats entire lines in a strict pattern, 1234, 2546, 5768, 7183. E.g.,

1 My iambs walk the line
2 Trochees cannot salute,
3 As anapests decline
4 And dactyls follow suit.

2 Trochees cannot salute,
5 Delaying this pantoum,
4 And dactyls follow suit,
6 Eschew a pyrrhic tune

5 Delaying this pantoum.
7 Never mind sestinas,
6 Eschew a pyrrhic tune,
8 Amazing terza rimas!

7 Never mind sestinas!
1 My iambs walk the line,
8 Amazing terza rimas
3 As anapests decline.

This is what I found about Pantoums
