Pantoum
I have no idea what to write
Even if I wanted to
Even if I was dying to
I could never write a poem
Even if I wanted to
The words refuse to pop up in my head
I could never write a poem
That’s the only thing I hear
The words refuse to pop up in my mind
Never could my thoughts be so sweet
That’s the only thing I hear
Hey, it’d be cool if I could
Never could my thoughts be so sweet
There are times when I’m inspired to
Hey, it’d be cool if I could
There are times when I long to
There are times when I’m inspired to
There are times when I feel it
There are times when I long it
Simply to write a poem
I’d ask Grace for help
Because I know she would and she could
Simply write a poem
I have no idea what to write
Even if I wanted to
Even if I was dying to
I could never write a poem
Even if I wanted to
The words refuse to pop up in my head
I could never write a poem
That’s the only thing I hear
The words refuse to pop up in my mind
Never could my thoughts be so sweet
That’s the only thing I hear
Hey, it’d be cool if I could
Never could my thoughts be so sweet
There are times when I’m inspired to
Hey, it’d be cool if I could
There are times when I long to
There are times when I’m inspired to
There are times when I feel it
There are times when I long it
Simply to write a poem
I’d ask Grace for help
Because I know she would and she could
Simply write a poem
I have no idea what to write

So pretty much, we HAD to write a pantoum in class. I had no idea what it was, but then she gave us a paper with an example and I noticed that you basically give it a few lines and it does the rest. Simple right? When it comes to poetry, my brain goes dead. I'm not a poet...I dispise poetry...so this was what I came up with! I'm actually kind of proud of it...Especially since my teacher wrote a whole paragraph about it, saying how "wonderful" it was. Go me! :)
