Exceptional A Pantoum Sonnet contest entry Pantoum Collection : Farewell by tfawcus Write a Pantoum Sonnet contest entry

Our stars are dancing on the sea tonight Yet shudder at the sadness of farewell, Alive in this blue hour of shifting light. I watch the way they ride the rising swell Yet shudder at the sadness of farewell. Such sea-glass stars have twins set in the sky. I watch the way they ride the rising swell As we must surely do; my love and I. Such sea-glass stars have twins set in the sky That span the empty loneliness of space As we must surely do, my love and I, Until we can, at length, again embrace. Our stars are dancing on the sea tonight Alive in this blue hour of shifting light. Recognized Earned A Seal Of Quality Author Notes A Pantoum Sonnet is a unique and beautiful form, combining the Pantoum and the Sonnet. Like a sonnet, it consists of three rhymed quatrains and a rhymed couplet and it is written in iambic pentameter but, like a Pantoum,, the second and a fourth line of each quatrain repeats as the first and third line of the next. The final couplet completes the circularity by repeating the first and third lines of the opening stanza.
