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

It’s such a long long time,

Siberian winds,

Waiting for sunshine,

Waiting like a dog at a grave.


Siberian winds,

Rattling my bones,

Waiting like a dog at a grave,

There are no tulips in the winter.


Rattling my bones,

Waiting for sunshine,

There are no tulips in winter,

It’s such a long long time.
