POEM STARTER
Write a winter Pantoum.
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 winter theme that would benefit from emphasis of certain lines.
Peppermint Bark
Crystals of snow covering rooftops
Mist falling on freezing eyelashes
Frozen hands grasp a warm mug
Catching snowflakes on tongues
Mist falling on freezing eyelashes
Dancing in falling stars
Pirouette under the Mistletoe
Frozen hands grasp a warm mug
Dancing in falling starts
Holding mitten-wearing hands
Peppermint bark flavored lips touch
Pirouette under the mistletoe
Holding mitten-wearing hands
Hot chocolate mustaches
A winter lovers’ love
Peppermint Bark flavored lips touch
