Glad to see you on Rick's site. His paintings do inspire, don't they? Such vibrant colors and figures. A nice song of a poem to go with the lyric narrative of the painting.

I think some types of text lend themselves to the pantoum form much more than others - the more abstract and metaphorical, the easier it seems to be to make the repetition work. Although quite a lot of my poems end up structured in some way, I rarely set out to write a particular form. I just start writing, see if a form suggests itself, and rework the lines to make any rhyme and repetition consistent. The first draft of this wasn't a pantoum at all. Anyway, good luck with writing a pantoum, pieceofpie - and when you write one you're happy with, do post a link! Glad you liked it and thanks for your lovely comments.
