Pantoum poem

Concealed amid the Summer green As stars await their turn to shine The thrush sings thrice his song unseen And we would like to hold back time As stars await their turn to shine We want his song to never stop And we would like to hold back time As another cork we pop We want his song to never stop We hope for shooting stars up high As another cork we pop Watch nature's fireworks in the sky We hope for shooting stars up high The thrush sings thrice his song unseen Watch nature's fireworks in the sky Concealed amid the Summer green

Notes

A pantoum poem consists of 4 or more stanzas.

Each stanza has an ABAB rhyme pattern.

The 2nd and 4th line of each stanza is re-used as the 1st and 3rd line of the next stanza.

The pattern goes on for as long as you like until the last stanza, where the 2nd line and 4th line are re-cycled from the first stanza. The first line of the poem becomes the last line, and the 3rd line of the poem is repeated as the 2nd line of the last stanza.
