It’s probably harder to write a good dirty limerick. A Pantoum ia just 4 X 4, and each stanza you steal 2 lines from the one before. And the 4th stanza you cop the 2nd and 4th lines from #1st line of the poem in stanza 1, and line #3 in the first stanza, so that final stanza writes itself.
I got most of my better lines in this one by blindly rolling the lines farther down, just to see if I could write new 2nd and 4th lines that would change the contextual meaning. It’s almost like the poem is prompting new ideas for partner lines as I look at the next verse to write.
The form also forces me to focus on the writing itself–not “philosophizing” about what I want the poem to mean.

hello dearest Benny my pain is just too great to live any other way I’ve really honestly tried more than once and I will never willingly put myself through that again… this is powerful if you have a better way to cope I am happy for you my friend ❤️

The root cause of all suffering is thinking.That’s where the answer lies.
I coped by reading as much as I could about depression, grief,the way our minds work and trick is.The best material,without sounding religious,was in Buddhism.
Happy to share some authors with you if you’re interested.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
