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.
Winter
Last season of a year,
Blue sky and shining snow,
Dream about it long ago,
Pine trees plum bossom ever beautiful.
Blue sky and shining snow,
Earth covered in bright white,
Pine trees plum bossom ever beautiful,
Lives in the forest fall asleep.
Earth covered in bright white,
Amazing nature’s masterpiece,
Lives in the forest fall asleep,
Sharp cold wind blowing through air.
Amazing nature’s masterpiece,
Wonderful story of the year,
Sharp cold wind blowing through air,
Not weakening the loves around.
