The oil and acrylic melted
his thumb rubbing them together,
till he felt in the dark the white glue pot,
and dipped his hand entirely.

And dipped his hand entirely
till he felt in the dark the white glue pot,
his thumb rubbing them together,
the oil and acrylic melted.

Melted oil and acrylic
Webbing across his hand as
he smiled, and wiped his palm
on the front of his jeans.

On the front of his jeans
he smiled, and wiped his palm
webbing across his hand as
melted oil and acrylic.

Wings of the moon -
I havn't read anything by you here... First of all, its unusual to get a poem like this in the forums (one with the structured pattern yours has).  I've done some pantoums and others, but never one with this pattern.  Just out of curiosity, what is it called?

Anyways, the poem was pretty good... I've never been crazy about poems like this, simply because the lines repeat (I know they have to), and the poems just feel repetitive.

But this is good for the format.

drummer boy, not sure if it has a name, originally, it only had two stanzas, i wonder if you and young blood would agree if it is best without the last two.

the lines are never the same twice
