I want to thank Teresa Baker at https://theresabarkerlabnotes.com who encouraged me to try different Poem Form. The link below provides the pattern for today’s poem.
Miriam, I love the sense of repetition in this poem! – I read it “standalone” without thinking intentionally about the Pantoum pattern. And I enjoyed that you connected the topic – letter in a bottle – with the repetitive form, which made it feel like waves of the ocean. Thank you for taking the time to try a new form and to share it with us! 😉
Thank you, Teresa! That’s the trick, after following the pattern, when it’s read, it should flow. MY first draft, the final stanza didn’t flow, almost didn’t make sense. It was a good practice. I’ll try your other one next!!
Yeah!! Do it, because as you do it, every moment you go on to be better, and do one more thing, actually a favor, read my story-only_to_let_her_know and tell me how you feel about it….
Thank you Subbashini! I had the example next to me, and check the lines many times, almost like doing math, but also has to be poetic!! Some challenge!!
