Pantoum

A pantoum is a form of poetry in which each stanza is four lines long. The stanzas are linked closely together by using the second and fourth lines of each as the first and third lines of the next.

Sounds fun!

Here are a couple of my tries at writing a pantoum:

A flower blooms
sunny yellow,
tall and straight
in the snow.

Sunny yellow,
determined,
in the snow
all alone.

Determined,
tall and straight,
all alone
a flower blooms.

Welcome home,
Robin Redbreast,
singing sweetly
on a high branch.

resting and nesting
on a high branch
in the old oak tree.

Resting and nesting,
singing sweetly
in the old oak tree.
Welcome home.
