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.

Little Smiles

Poetry

Get into character

Put on a pretty smile

Fix your clothes

It is time to start the show

Put on a pretty smile

It’s okay they won’t know

It is time to start the show

Are you nervous or are you hungry

It’s okay they won’t know

You’re seconds away from throwing up

Are you nervous or hungry

But whatever you’re fine

You’re seconds away from throwing up

From the very little food you ate

But whatever you’re fine

Hopefully you’ll be pretty before you die

This made me laugh

Not sure if that was expected but..I did?

Very well written Pidge! You made it seem as if it wasn’t repeating, and it flowed really well together with each stanza.

😁have a good day/night/afternoon/dawn lol.
