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.

Convicted

Poetry

Confusing,

I don’t know what to feel.

Insane,

Is any of this even real?

I don’t know what to feel,

My head and my heart are conflicted.

Is any of this even real?

Is this a prison, we’re all convicted?

My head and my heart are conflicted.

My heart has my head evicted.

Is this a prison, we’re all convicted?

My movements, my feelings restricted.

This sounds like it’s straight out of a song, I love the repetition so much. You are so clearly talented. This short poem somehow had such a deep implied meaning. Truly a wonderful piece

Fits the prompt perfectly and I love the concept, I get what you mean, I’ve felt like this before too

You are really talented, I know I’ve said it before but it’s true

She/her. I love books, music, and all things involving escaping reality. Fair warning, my poems tend to be rather depressing.
