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.

Maybe I’m This Winter Too

Poetry

Drama

If only I had no fear

To set free my desire

This winter that’s always near

I would’ve set it on fire


To set free my desire

For winter to leave my shelf

I would’ve set it on fire

But I’m the fire myself


For winter to leave my shelf

I could’ve washed it away

But I’m the fire myself

I would be gone anyway


I could’ve washed it away

Or maybe there’s nothing I can do

I would be gone anyway

‘Cause maybe I’m this winter too
