After reading Joyce Sidman's book Butterfly Eyes and Other Secrets of the Meadow last year, I explored the pantoum form. I love it. The late spring provides much to write about.
Slow spring awakening
Daffodils glance sideways
While snowflakes fall
However, vanish soon
Daffodils glance sideways
Mourning doves call
However, vanish soon
As cold rain plop plops
Mourning doves call
Frogs hoppity hip in mud puddles
As cold rain plop plops
Mason bees sleep in the hive
Frogs hoppity hip in mud puddles
A sliver of sun plays peek-a boo
Mason bees sleep in the hive
Daphne perfumes the air
A sliver of sun plays peek-a boo
While snowflakes fall
Daphne perfumes the air
Slow spring awakening
