This is beautiful and not easy to do. Welcome to Stars Rite

Oh wow… and I thought I was into rhyming… this is way over my head

hello good evening you are very talented ❤️

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.

Beautifully penned, RJ. Excellent write my friend. Welcome to Stars Rite. Appreciate you.
