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.
Winters Embrace
Amidst the snow, the world turns white (A)
Amidst the snow, the world turns white (B)
A blanket pure, a glistening sight (A)
The landscape hushed, a tranquil night (B)
A blanket pure, a glistening sight (C)
The frigid air, with frosty bite (D)
The landscape hushed, a tranquil night (C)
In winter's grip, the world holds tight (D)
The frigid air, with frosty bite (E)
A silent night, the stars so bright (F)
In winter's grip, the world holds tight (E)
As snowflakes fall, a dance of light (F)
A silent night, the stars so bright (G)
A world transformed, in pale moonlight (H)
As snowflakes fall, a dance of light (G)
In winter's spell, a wondrous sight (H)
A world transformed, in pale moonlight (A)
Amidst the snow, the world turns white (B)
In winter's spell, a wondrous sight (A)
The landscape hushed, a tranquil night (B)
