LOL... here a pantoum from the workshop about a year ago. I guess Nan is a little busy at the moment, but I thought this may give you a bit of an idea.
Hope you don't mind, but I'll wait to find out what meter Nan wants this time  

Such a sweet caress

It was such a sweet caress
On that weary dreary day
Longing for my bonnie lass
Solemn grief ate me away

On that weary dreary day
Death came passing by my door
Solemn grief ate me away
Heartache mine forever more

Death came passing by my door
Looking at my soppy eyes
Heartache mine forever more
Bonnie lass she just had died

Looking at my soppy eyes
Feeling sorry in a way
Bonnie lass she just had died
Said "This is your lucky day"

Feeling sorry in a way
Her kiss cold yet sweet to me
Said "This is your lucky day,
Your sweet bonnie lass you'll see"

Her kiss cold yet sweet to me
Longing for my bonnie lass
"Your sweet bonnie lass you'll see"
It was such a sweet caress

Good luck !

This is a lovely poem. I should have read it more carefully before I wrote mine.

Agreed , an excellent example quite eloquently phrased in it's simplicity . Less is more . Thanks.
