This is a very nice pantoum poem that explains about the pantoum poem in its verses. Has good rhythm and rhyming throughout the poem.

At last the tail engulfs the head
Tucked up within each other's phrase
So here's an end. It's put to bed
All hail, Pantoum , Malay malaise

I am glad you explained, as for me its the first time I hear about those names, but anything penned that comes out of your philosophy is great for me. I love reading your poetry. Bless you Terry

All hail, Pantoum, Malay malaise Love the intro+'m' allits
Pan pipes entomb a dual sense 'p' allits
Tucked up within each OTHERS' phrase
With treasure shared beyond expense 's' "
Lines fixed in one climb up a rung
A pantomime so richly sung
As sense now slides across the verse Love the 's's
Takes time and causes one to curse
At last the tail engulfs the head Great line
So here's an END. It's put to bED Internal slant rhyme

Best P I've read yet. Deserves a 6 but I'm out. Flawless execution.

Regards:

This is rich! You did your job well with lines like:
Lines fixed in one climb up a rung
At last the tail engulfs the head

It does circle around. I see that now.
Malay malaise --great play on words.

tfawcus--Title not withstanding...the artwork is awesome
as part of the theme and complement the ever meshing,
melding and enfolding of these rotating lines into eclec-
tic verses. Scribe's last verse sums it up best:


"At last the tail engulfs the head
Tucked up within each other's phrase
So here's an end. It's put to bed
All hail, Pantoum , Malay malaise"


A fortuitous, but well written poetic instruction. teafor2

Ahh...this is a fine pantoum describing a pantoum. Superbly written and I will one day write one of these little dittys but am far too dense on poetry as of yet. Enjoyed this immensely. You have great talent, poet.

Thank you very much Tony for sharing this Pantoum poem with fans, myself and other readers/writers. Technically your rhymes have done very well and neither of your rhymes are you forced, labored or strained. The rhythm of your poem along with the tempo and meter is done so well that it makes it easy for me to read and understand your poem explicitly. Your context in concept done to a point which I understand your poem wholeheartedly. You have a good one and God bless and in gratitude to you for successfully completing a Pantoum style of poetry. You have a good one and God bless.

Oh my goodness. It's a gem! I can see this poem featuring in anthologies and encyclopaediae for centuries to come. It's the last word on the subject!
