I had never heard of pantoums before, but they are awesome and very expressive. The repetition gives them this ancient chanting feeling that is really cool. I had a lot of fun writing mine!

the thirteen stripes for valure
the original colonies fought for
red they died and white for peace
the fifty one stars united we stand
a trilogy to sustain one common beleif
for freedom, world peace and honor
my alegeance to the american flag

John,

I am glad to hear it. I can’t wait to see your poem.

Zita,

Exactly! I did not claim that pantoums were easy – just that they’re worth the work.

Yes – fiddly and challenging, but very rewarding.

Sheer, Zita, and Sandra:

These are fantastic. I’m glad that you took up the challenge.

Rianon,

Yeah, I know it’s a crazy form. I think that’s why I like it.

Thanks, I had fun:

“The Fly”

I am a fly
right on your palm
I’ve found my home
with sewerage

right on your palm -
there’s civilization
with sewerage
but with no gods

civilization
is nothing to wonder
but with no gods
death is so hard

is nothing to wonder
that’s the reality
death is so hard
and your palm is clutching

that’s the reality
I am a fly
and your palm is clutching
when I’ve just found my home
