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?? ![]() |

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 Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
