POEM STARTER
Write a Pantoum on any topic you like.
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 theme that would benefit from emphasis of certain lines.
Birthdays
I honestly don’t have a great and complete idea of what a pantoum is but I really tried! Please provide feedback which will probably be needed😅
Childhood cakes with laughter's ring,
Balloons and songs, the joy they bring.
Teenage dreams, a party's glow,
Growing up, the candles grow.
Balloons and songs, the joy they bring,
Adventures wild, on youthful wing.
Growing up, the candles grow,
Birthdays change, a subtle flow.
Adventures wild, on youthful wing,
Friendships solidify and cling.
Birthdays change, a subtle flow,
Life's stages pass, they come and go.
Friendships solidify and cling,
Adult years with a different swing.
Life's stages pass, they come and go,
Once grand celebrations now soft and low.
Adult years with a different swing,
Reflections on the moments' string.
Once grand celebrations now soft and low,
Birthdays fade, a steady undertow.
