Our period 5 class recently experimented with writing pantoum poems. Everyone's best efforts are published here. After reading these examples, you should be able to derive the rules of writing a pantoum. We invite you to post your own composition here as a comment.

I walked down to Hungry Howies.
I had a slice of pizza.
The grease ran off the cheese.
The crust was crispy.
I had a slice of pizza.
I could smell the pepperoni.
It’s heaven on earth!
The gold crust was crispy.
I could smell the pepperoni.
The sauce oozing out.
The gold crust was crispy.
How could this slice taste so good!?

Tender Heart
Christina Eilert
Wrapped in the cold
Snow all alone
White, pure, tender,
bleeding, warmth gone
Snow all alone
It just can't be
Bleeding warmth gone
My broken heart
It just can't be
Another new end
My broken heart
How can it be?
Nothing remains now
White, pure, tender,
Not you, it's me
Wrapped in the cold.
Summer
Erin O'Brien
Summer is the best
No plans, lots of rest
You feel the heat
Poolside drinks
No plans, lots of rest
Bare feet
Warm, never-ending nights
Sneaking out
Bare feet
Green cut grass
Bikes on the street
Running through sprinklers
A cold glass of lemonade
Green cut grass
Running though sprinklers
Life at its best.
THE IGNORANT ONES
-marcus pierce
There are some people,
You just will never like,
Maybe too full of hate,
Maybe not full of love.
You will just never like,
The ignorant ones,
People who just dont care;
People who aren't anywhere.
The ignorant ones,
Are the people who wait,
The people who can't,
The people who just don't,
People just don't care,
For the ignorant ones;
The people who wait,
Maybe too full of hate.
