a Pantoum
A chapter in the book Little Poems
Golf
by Treischel
Golf
(A Pantoum) He cleanly strokes the small white orb, With mighty swing applied so well. Imparting power balls absorb, In curving arc, it flew and fell. With mighty swing applied so well, Pure physics' actions can be seen. In curving arc, it flew and fell, To land so softly toward the green. Pure physics' actions can be seen, Player properly lines it up, To land so softly on the green, And roll it smoothly towards the cup. Player properly lines it up, He cleanly strokes the small white orb, And rolls it smoothly towards the cup, Imparting power balls absorb. WOW! THAT'S A PAR! |

I like to Golf. A typical hole in golf is a Par 4. The first stanza represents the driver shot off the tee box. The second stanza represents a fairway shot towards the green. The third stanza represents the chip shot onto the green, while the fourth is the putt into the cup (hole).
This Poem is a Pantoum.
A pantoum is a poem that is made up of quatrains. In a pantoum the second and fourth lines of the previous stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next stanza. That establishes a rhyme scheme as follows:
A1,B1,A2,B2 B1,C1,B2,C2 C1,D1,C2,D2 D1,A1,D2,A2.
I slightly modified some repeated lines for theme integrity. When writing this format, then, you need to be cognizant of the impact of two lines as you go. The A1 and A2 lines don't need to repeat at the end, but I chose to do so. You could have an E1 and E2 instead and keep going indefinitely.
