  • Early Morning Pantoum


    She lets herself in
    While I am asleep
    It can't be a sin
    This secret we keep

    While I am asleep
    She snuggles in close
    This secret we keep
    Which I love the most

    She snuggles in close
    This girl who's my missus
    Which I love the most
    I awake to her kisses

    This girl who's my misses
    Her skin warm and soft
    I awake to her kisses
    It's gone hot in this loft!

    Igniting intense fires
    This can't be a sin
    Fulfills my desires
    She lets herself in

    You left us on the edge of the canyon pearing out into the night... I liked the suspense here and the unspoken feeling very nice also how you began and ended with the same line very sweet poem...

    LOVELY!  It's so good to read your happiness in these lines.


    (I don't like the word "suddenly" but I LOVE "hot in this loft")

    @quiltnmomi - Thanks for the feedback.  Going back for a re-read, I agree with you, so I replaced it.  I also eliminated an unnecessary word from the line after.

    Also, I realized I'd done something wrong.  The first and third lines of the last quatrain are supposed to be the same as the second and forth lines of the penultimate quatrain.  But, oh well, I like it the way it is.

    Thanks again!

    Great job, Jerry!  I'm so proud of your pantoum!!!  I love that "she lets herself in" is the first and last line of the poem.  Excellent.
