What an interesting form of poetry, I don’t think I’ve ever read one with this kind of structure. I like it a lot!
ahhhh petals are falling at my feet
Love. Love. Love this poem. Lyrical, beautiful and raw. Awesome much. X
Why, thank you sweetie. Happy New Year to you, and all the best for 2013 x
This is awesome. I think it is a specific poetry form…. What is it called?
Thank you. Yes, it’s a Pantoum, which is french and has that line repetition thing going on with it. Here are some notes on the form (from my poetry class notes):
“The pantoum is written in interlinked quatrains, usually rhyming a, b, a, b in which the second and forth lines in each stanza become the first and third lines of the next; in the last stanza, the form comes full circle as the hitherto unrepeated first and third lines of the first stanza are used, in reverse order, as the second and fourth lines.”
