Newborn Child Pantoum, Isaac
by Treischel
Newborn Child (Pantoum for Isaac)
Nothing is more beautiful than a Newborn Child As the labor-worn mother takes it in her Arms It snuggles on the bosom giving a faint Smile As it melts a mother's heart with its tiny Charms As the labor-worn mother takes it in her Arms It suckles there contentedly taking its first drink As it melts a mother's heart with its tiny Charms The most lovely baby Ever Born, you fondly think It suckles there contentedly taking its first drink You're reminded of Baby Jesus, born so long ago The most lovely baby Ever Born, you fondly think He's heaven's link to our Salvation, you truly know You're reminded of Baby Jesus, born so long ago Lying in a manger as his mother Mary smiled He's heaven's link to our Salvation, you truly know Nothing is more beautiful than a Newborn Child. |

I reviewd a couple very beautiful Pantoum poems and thought, what a beautiful poetic format. I must try it. So, here is my first attempt.
My Grandson Isaac was born a year ago on December 7,2011
I took this picture on the day Isaac was born to my daughter Aisha. This was in the hospital room just hours after he was born.
This poem is for the mother and child.
The pantoum is a form of poetry similar to a villanelle in that there are repeating lines throughout the poem. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. This pattern continues for any number of stanzas, except for the final stanza, which differs in the repeating pattern. The first and third lines of the last stanza are the second and fourth of the penultimate; the first line of the poem is the last line of the final stanza, and the third line of the first stanza is the second of the final. Ideally, the meaning of lines shifts when they are repeated although the words remain exactly the same: this can be done by shifting punctuation, punning, or simply recontextualizing.
