Pantoum*
Wrapping myself in a single sheet
In room 521 at The Ritz
I can hear my heart beat
My questions quit
In room 521 at The Ritz
Whispers burn
My questions quit
He helps me learn
Whispers burn
Room service brings more wine
He helps me learn
Replaces the privacy sign
Room service brings more wine
He plays with my hair
Replaces the privacy sign
Our luxurious lair
He plays with my hair
I can hear my heart beat
Our luxurious lair
Wrapping myself in a single sheet
*A pantoum is a strict, 15th century form of poetry that must be composed in full cross rhymed quatrains (abab, cdcd, etc.). It must begin and end with the same line, and this is how the rest of the poem unfolds: the 2nd and 4th lines of the first stanza become the 1st and 3rd lines of the second stanza, the 2nd and 4th lines of the second stanza become the 1st and 3rd of stanza three and so on until you reach the end. A Pantoum may be as long or short as you desire, but, when you do get to the end, you must use the two lines you will not yet have repeated--the 1st and 3rd of the opening stanza, they are reversed in order and become the 2nd and 4th of the final quatrain.
