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
Get into character
Put on a pretty smile
Fix your clothes
It is time to start the show
Put on a pretty smile
Itâs okay they wonât know
It is time to start the show
Are you nervous or are you hungry
Itâs okay they wonât know
Youâre seconds away from throwing up
Are you nervous or hungry
But whatever youâre fine
Youâre seconds away from throwing up
From the very little food you ate
But whatever youâre fine
Hopefully youâll be pretty before you die
