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.
Nothing Pantoum
If I had nothing to write about
I’d write regardless
And if I had to write without regard
I’d write true to my heart
I’d write regardless
Disregarding any if ands or buts
I’d write true to my heart
And I’d be happy doing so
Disregarding any if ands or buts
It’s easy when I have nothing to write about
And I’d be happy doing so
Because I’d think with the words
It’s easy when I have nothing to write about
The flow exists when the words do
Because I’d think when the words do
And nothing will become something
