Remember the Poets (Pantoum)

rrodriguez

Let’s remember the poets before us

They wrote their verses with rhythmic cadence  

Their verses painted pictures with great curtness

So full of a youthful exuberance

 

They wrote their verses with rhythmic cadence

Metaphors & similes behind ’em   

So full of a youthful exuberance

Remember, we must never forget them

 

Metaphors & similes behind ’em  

Honor those that were so illustrious  

Remember, we must never forget them

In their work, we meet the industrious  

 

Honor those that were so illustrious  

Their verses painted pictures with great curtness  

In their work, we meet the industrious  

Let’s remember the poets before us.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is written in pantoum form. The modern pantoum is a poem of any length, composed of four-line stanzas in which the second and fourth lines of each stanza serve as the first and third lines of the next stanza. The last line of a pantoum is often the same as the first. This is my first, so please give me your comments.
