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.

I can’t seem to escape

When will I understand my role

To you I was just a mistake

I can’t seem to escape

I wish I could learn to move on

To you I was just a mistake

I guess this is what I have to improve on

I wish I could learn to move on

You were my whole album, but to you I was just a verse

I guess this is what I have to improve on

I can’t bare to live with this growing curse

You were my whole album, but to you I was just a verse

When will I understand my role

I can’t bare to live with this growing curse
