You pour it, have a sip, and then move to the couch. YOu drink some more. You get up. You look out the window. Another sip. You get the idea. To rush through a poem is to guzzle a cup of coffee and honestly, who does that? I'm very glad to have found your blog via KAT. <BR/><BR/>Also, I ran across a folk tune that I'm writing a post about.

There's some info about pantoums online, tho in a lot of cases they also include a tag ending, which mine doesn't have (there may be other variations, too-- I can't recall). Old standby Wikipedia does have a <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantoum" REL="nofollow">page</A>, including links to examples.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-21620189482362128132009-03-23T09:09:00.000-07:002009-03-23T09:09:00.000-07:00An interesting poem in an interesting form!
