Day 44/365
At the base of all decisions
rising up beyond the crest
seeming quest and disillusions
very oftentimes oppressed
Rising up beyond the crest
perspective here is at its finest
very oftentimes oppressed
fight the urge embrace the highness
Perspective here is at its finest
scaling forth control impatience
fight the urge embrace the highness
let each foothold drive tenacious
Rising through the time faced challenge
seeming quest and disillusions
branches plentiful with knowledge
At the base of all decisions.
Pantoum
(My first attempt at a poem of this style. Hopefully it's not terrible for you to read! =D)
A pantoum is a poem that uses a lot of repetition. To create this poem, follow these steps.
- Write a quatrain (4 line stanza). Writing emotional lines usually works best.
- Take lines 2 and 4 of the first stanza and make them lines 1 and 3 of the second stanza.
- Take lines 2 and 4 of the second stanza and make them lines 1 and 3 of the third stanza.
- Continue your poem using this pattern.
- For your last stanza, go back to the first stanza of the poem. Make line 3 of the first stanza line 2 of your last. Make line 1 of the first stanza line 4 in your last.

Ufffffff. I didn't know poems could be so tied up in rules.
I know. This one wasn't pleasant. Think I'll go back to free verse for awhile.
