My Pantoum - Meadow Morn

Okay, I'm a bit nervous about this draft, but I must admit that I really enjoyed the challenge of writing a pantoum.
Meadow Morn
In the meadow green
Dew glistens on each blade
As sunlight breaks the day
And fog whispers away

Dew glistens on each blade
As murmured voices hum
And fog whispers away
Wobbly legs unfold

As murmured voices hum
The day’s repast begins
Wobbly legs unfold
And nest mates stretch and sing

The day’s repast begins
A morning chorus rises
Nest mates stretch and sing
Waking up the world

A morning chorus rises
As sunlight breaks the day
Waking up the world
In the meadow green
I am going to play some more with this form. Won't you join me? Post your pantoum on your blog and then leave a link in the comments. Once we have some poems, I'll link them all here.

  1. okay... i sort of played along... so you can link it if you wish, but it's totally off the top of my (very sleepy, tired of reading) head!

  2. Hi Tricia, I enjoyed the turns of your pantoum. Your warning made me skeptical at first but, silly me, I shouldn't have doubted.
    Cheers,
