Good morning everyone. This is my first experience with pantoum poetry. I hope I’ve done it right. Picture from pixabay

Drew, for information.
Drew, for information.
The pantoum is a form of poetry similar to a villanelle in that there are repeating lines throughout the poem. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next stanza.

I find villanelle and pantoum
I find villanelle and pantoum very difficult and I tend to steer clear of these forms, Niamh.
Although they can be technically correct by following the rules, the poetic element doesn't always match the effort.
Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night" is an exceptional example of pantoum.
Best wishes, Luigi x
