Chasing all those butterflies’ discrete. expression in the purest form embraced
Where tension prickling romance fleeting?
In the perfumed wore in lilacs replaced.
Expression in the purest form embraced
as passion admits, relationship awake,
in the perfumed wore in lilacs replaced.
with every sweet remembrance partake.
As passion admits, relationship awake,
bliss filling the air of attraction foretell
with every sweet remembrance partake.
This fascistic story in novels read well
Bliss filling the air of attraction foretell,
this laughter celebrated in silly songs.
This fascistic story in novels read well
in a relationship courted that strung along.
Author notes
The structure of a Pantoum is very simple.
It consists of series of quatrains rhyming ABAB in which the second and fourth lines of a quatrain recur as the first and third lines in the succeeding quatrain; each quatrain introduces a new second rhyme as BCBC, CDCD. The first line of the series recurs as the last line of the closing quatrain, and third line of the poem recurs as the second line of the closing quatrain, rhyming ZAZA.
You can go as many stanzas as you wish as long as the ending stanza then repeats the second and fourth lines of the previous stanza (as its first and third lines), and also repeats the third line of the first stanza, as its second line, and the first line of the first stanza as its fourth. So the first line of the poem is also the last.
This is the format for the last stanza regardless of how many stanzas you have. This is cast in stone as far as Pantoum goes
Line 2 of previous stanza
Line 3 of first stanza
Line 4 of previous stanza
Line 1 of first stanza
