Aren't these lovely. They are some more Lilies I found in my brother's back yard. Such a vivid pink just begged to be photographed, much less imortalized.

This poem is a Pantoum Sonnet.
A Pantoum Sonnet combines the characteristics of the two formats. A Pantoum is a repeating poem whose second and fourth lines become the first and third lines of the next stanza, and so on. The Sonnet is a 14 line poem with 12 lines of abab rhyming and two closing rhymed lines, or couplet. This type of Sonnet can be formed in the contemporary manner of three Quatrains with closing couplet, or the traditional way of 14 lines together. So, the Sonnet contains a rippling set of repeated lines. It also closes with the first and third lines of the first stanza as the rhyming couplet. Only it is done in reverse order, so that the first line of the poem becomes the last. In either case, the rhyme scheme for this Pantoum Sonnet is:

A1/B1/A2/B2/-- B1/C1/B2/C2/ -- C1/D1/C2/D2/ -- A2/A1
