Shadow Self, By Nature

Spring tones, the blues— creature sky must come down, For Summer will chip on flowers cut under ploughs, Power now shared by crows long before Autumn's fast, And Winter then, snowing hard with a forest's bare; bony abs. For Summer will chip on flowers cut under ploughs Out of our brief life; peeping, concerned heads, And Winter then, snowing hard with a forest's bare; bony abs— Though it is God in that, that must be wept for; Out of our brief life; their peeping, concerned heads, Power now shared by crows long before Autumn's fast, Though it is God in that, that must be wept for— Spring tones, the blues— creature sky must come down.

your Pantoum is beautiful in the way it flows from one season to the next. I find the Pantoum form challenging...in fact, I don't think I've tried it yet. You've inspired me with yours; it's so descriptive and flows beautifully. Well done. Enjoy your evening, hugs, Sara

These swirling words of a pantoum come together in the beauty of the seasons. Your poem enthuses me to the variety of life.

Nice pantoum images. I find this form rather difficult so it's great to see people trying it
