Post subject: I cheated on this one
(Okay...Pantoum I wrote for Creative Writing two years ago. I cheated on it...because it was the only way to make it sound how I wanted.)
The rainbow which
I sat upon
Was scalding to the touch
Leprechaun's trap
I sat upon
The cooling grass
Leprechaun's trap!
I need a second chance.
The cooling grass
Held something else
A second chance
The gold winked in the sun
I sat upon
The gold, winking in the sun
Leprechaun's trap
Needs a second chance.
It's kinda dumb...but I was really proud of it back then...so it's still one of my favorites.

A Pantoum is a poem in which you write the first four lines...then in the second stanza, have line 1 repeat the second line of your first stanza, and line three repeat the fourth. Continue this for third stanza, but repeating lines 2 and 4 of the second stanza. For the fourth stanza, choose any four lines from the poem, put them in any order, and finish it out that way.
Essentially...it's a 16 line poem and you're only actually writing 8 lines.
I cheated by changing the sentences slightly...instead of repeating them exactly, I switched a few things...like 'I need a second chance' became 'A second chance', etc.
And Leprechauns are coo.
