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.

The Dark Of Winter

When the world fades into dark

Earlier and earlier each day

The overhead lights dim

Motivation slips away


Earlier and earlier each day

My bed calls my name

Motivation slips away

It’s tough to stay sane


My bed calls my name

Pillows so soft

It’s tough to stay sane

Time to nod off


Pillows so soft

This fatigue I can’t fight

Time to nod off

Till spring it’s good night
