The swirling vortex appeared out of thin air,
sickening sweet smell of hot melted glucose.
Following closely in the wake of the killer,
cone of cardboard, strength when the west wind blows.
Sickening sweet smell of hot melted glucose,
a nightmare come to life, it chases us down.
Cone of cardboard, strength when the west wind blows,
purchased three of her seedlings from that gay clown.
A nightmare come to life, it chases us down,
a mothers blind fury when her young are attacked.
Purchased three of her seedlings from that gay clown,
certainly surreal, it's you that she's tracked!!
A mothers blind fury when her young are attacked,
following closely in the wake of the killer.
Certainly surreal, it's you that she's tracked!!

Pantoum
The pantoum consists of a 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.
The design is simple:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5 (repeat of line 2)
Line 6
Line 7 (repeat of line 4)
Line 8
Continue with as many stanzas as you wish, but the ending stanzathen 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.
Last stanza:
Line 2 of previous stanza
Line 3 of first stanza
Line 4 of previous stanza
Line 1 of first stanza
