The best way I can tell you is to give you an example of a pantoum: I see them, the ten warriors they are here to protect Neptune, Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn Warriors of beauty, fighting for life. They are here to protect Celestial Fire Burn, Supreme Thunder Crash, Deep Submerge Warriors of beauty, fighting for life. Double Moon, Mercury, Uranus, Venus. Celestial Fire Burn, Supreme Thunder Crash,Deep Submerge They are over-powered, by the enemy Double Moon, Mercruy, Uranus, Venus The wariors of peace are losing They are over-powered, by the enemy Circle of Sailor Power! The warriors of peace are losing Mars Star Power, Neptune Star Power, Moon Crystal Power Circle of Sailor Power! Purity of Light Mars Star Power, Neptune Star Power, Moon Crystal Power Beauty and love triumph. Purity of Light Neptune,Mars,Pluto,Jupiter,Saturn Beauty and Love triumph I see them, the ten warriors that is a pantoum I did for my creative writing class. It is a poem with stanzas of four lines. The Second and Fourth lines of the first stanza become the First and Third Stanza of your Second Stanza and so one till you get to the Final Stanza. |

Daniel, I'm so embarrassed, you asked me for advice, and you know more about poetry than I, the facts are so obvious within this challenge, I should be going to you for pointers. I don't even know why you asked me...... hon you are more than fine on your own, believe me!! There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

that was harder than i thought okey dokey here goes its about Phasmophobia -the fear of ghosts its not the best by then its my first pantoum or whatever its called Night darker than the blackest soul Stars icy spears aimed at my heart Clouds whirling violently,stormy waves Moon beams silhouette dancing figures Stars icy spears aimed at my heart An eiery whisper, a clinking sound Moon beams silhouette dancing figures The worst about to befall An eiery whisper, a clinking sound Shadows from all around merge The worst about to befall Winds blow, leaves rustle Shadows from all around merge Drums roll, a demonic dance Winds blow, leaves rustle The mind crumbles Drums roll, a demonic dance Clouds whirling violently,stormy waves The mind crumbles Night darker than the blackest soul [This message has been edited by wonderous (edited 03-28-2000).] |

Wonderous, That was excellent for your first time: Night darker than the blackest soul Stars icy spears aimed at my heart Clouds whirling violently,stormy waves Moon beams silhouette dancing figures Stars icy spears aimed at my heart An eiery whisper, a clinking sound Moon beams silhouette dancing figures The worst about to befall An eiery whisper, a clinking sound Shadows from all around merge The worst about to befall Winds blow, leaves rustle Shadows from all around merge Drums roll, a demonic dance Winds blow, leaves rustle The mind crumbles but to finish off the pantoum you need a final stanza to close it all off like this ~ Drums roll, a demonic dance Clouds whirling violently,stormy waves The mind crumbles Night darker than the blackest soul ~ and that is how to end the pantoum, one of my favorite types of poems. It is easy and it flows really well, and the Key, you don't have to rhyme LOL. I am really bad at trying to rhyme. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

No Problem, Perhaps you'll use this form another time. I just love it.

I'm afraid to sleep The nightmares will come Scared I'll let the darkness in Tortured by memories The nightmares will come Always there haunting me Tortured by memories What if I shut my eyes too tight ? Always there haunting me Scared I'll let the darkness in What if I shut my eyes too tight ? I'm afraid to sleep "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |
