BRIDGES GET US TO THE OTHER SIDE ! ~ A PANTOUM

 

A PANTOUM is an ideal poetic structure for the subject *BRIDGES* because in a PANTOUM each line is repeated twice !  Lines 2 & 4 of V1. become lines 1 & 3 of V2. etc. Pantoums are written in Quatrains with an abab etc rhyme pattern and can be any length. All normal Bridges have two ends A & B and *Bridge a Gap* so in a sense a Bridge Repeats and the situation of End A can be very different from End B ~ which could be in a different Country !  So poetically each line in the Pantoum finds itself in a different position when repeated !  Love to All - Angela & Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

 

BRIDGES are one of Mans oldest inventions

To cross a River - Ravine or a Gorge  

To *Bridge a Gap* are Bridges intentions

Wood - Stone or Steel ~ that Man could forge !

 

To cross a River - Ravine or a Gorge

A Bridge was the answer from *A to B*

Roads - Railways - Canals - new Bridges were needed

In our Pantoums we ensure that they start & finish with an identical line !  Consequently in the final verse (V6.)  Line 2 is line 3 of V1. and line 4 is line 1 of V1.  The Song *Bridge over Troubled Water* (1970) by Simon & Garfunkel is a Hymn - V3 (our Fave) was added in the Studio - it is a Solo by Art Garfunkel. They split up after recording it ! It was voted No. 50 in the best 500 Popular Song recordings in the 20th Century !  Love Angela  & Brian & Smokey ! ! !
