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 First Snow

Tiny crystals from above

Cold and wet upon my nose

As white as a dove

As the world slows

Cold and wet upon my nose

Diamonds shimmering down.

As the world slows,

Coating the ground.

Diamonds shimmering down

A beautiful scene

Coating the ground

Pure and clean

A beautiful scene

From His hands.

Pure and clean.

A magical winter wonderland.
