POEM STARTER
Write a Pantoum on any topic you like.
A pantoum is a poem where each stanza is 4 lines, and the second and fourth line of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. As this creates a lot of repetition, try to pick a theme that would benefit from emphasis of certain lines.

In a moment it’s gone
The time flies by quickly
It’s there for a second
A second’s too fast
The time flies by quickly
I can’t hold it, can’t catch it
A second’s too fast
Just a breath in the wind
I can’t hold it, can’t catch it
Can’t keep to myself
Just a breath in the wind
It will never come back...
trapped in this void of nothingness
bound to chains of silence
watching my life pass by
a stranger to my home
bound to chains of silence
veil upon veil suffocating me
I'm a stranger to my home
No longer human just a pile of fabric
veil upon veil suffocating me
Shuffling around like a shadow
No longer human just pile of fabric
and no one cares
no one care I've faded
no one cares i have emot...
Confusing,
I don’t know what to feel.
Insane,
Is any of this even real?
I don’t know what to feel,
My head and my heart are conflicted.
Is any of this even real?
Is this a prison, we’re all convicted?
My head and my heart are conflicted.
My heart has my head evicted.
Is this a prison, we’re all convicted?
My movements, my feelings restricted....
If I had nothing to write about
I’d write regardless
And if I had to write without regard
I’d write true to my heart
I’d write regardless
Disregarding any if ands or buts
I’d write true to my heart
And I’d be happy doing so
Disregarding any if ands or buts
It’s easy when I have nothing to write about
And I’d be happy doing so
Because I’d think with the words
It’s easy when I have nothing...
Isn’t lovely
All alone
Heart made of glass my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces skin and bone
All alone
Ripping myself apart at the seams I
Tear me to pieces skin and bone
Grinning as rubies spill from my flesh
Ripping myself apart at the seams
Caught in this cycle of self destruction
Grinning as rubies spill from my flesh
A small solace for the pain in my chest
Caught in this cycle of self...

Get into character
Put on a pretty smile
Fix your clothes
Its time to start the show
Put on a pretty smile
Its okay they wont know
It time to start the show
Just hold it in a little longer
Its okay they wont know
Youre seconds away from throwing up
Just hold it in a little longer
Come on you're fine
Youre seconds away from throwing up
From the very little food you ate

I can’t stand you
She yells
And I please
I can’t love you anymore
I don’t wanna see you
She yells
Walking these halls
I can’t you love you anymore
I don’t wanna see you
Cuz my heart sinks
Walking these halls
Betraying the hopeless romantic
With my heart on my sleeve
Cuz my heart sinks
I’ll bury it
Betraying the hopeless romantic
With my heart on my sleeve
I’ll find all our photos
I’ll bur...
He walked away, her heart in tow,
She never knew his worth till now.
Regret's sharp sting, a bitter blow,
She yearns for one more chance, somehow.
She never knew his worth till now,
His absence, a relentless ache.
She yearns for one more chance, somehow,
To right the wrong, to change their fate.
His absence, a relentless ache,
She took for granted his undoubted love.
To right the wrong, to chang...
In the garden of love, roses bloom bright,
Two souls entwined, their hearts taking flight.
But love's gentle whispers turn into a roar,
As storm clouds gather, hearts torn to the core.
Two souls entwined, their hearts taking flight,
Embracing the joy, love's exquisite delight.
As storm clouds gather, hearts torn to the core,
In the wreckage of dreams, they search for more.
Embracing the joy, lov...
Can’t stop
Can’t stop hiding
Let me go
Let me go from this
Can’t stop hiding
You’ve never met me
Let me go from this
Who am I
You’ve never met me
I don’t even know
Who am I
How do I run away
I don’t even know
How to escape
How do I run away
From myself
How to escape
I’m hiding the key
From myself
I don’t want to be around
I’m hiding the key
Though I want to escape
I don’t want to be around...
