Certainly! A pantoum is a poetic form with a distinctive repetitive structure. It typically consists of four-line stanzas where the second and fourth lines of each stanza become the first and third lines of the next, creating a continuous loop. The last line of the poem becomes the first line, thus completing the cycle.
Here’s an attempt at a pantoum inspired by Malay culture:
In the soft light of dawn, I weave my loom,
The rhythmic hum of threads and spindle sound.
The rhythmic hum of threads and spindle sound,
From dawn till dusk, my hands move to and fro.
From dawn till dusk, my hands move to and fro,
Through each intricate design, a story’s told.
Through each intricate design, a story’s told,
In the soft light of dawn, I weave my loom.
In the soft light of dawn, I weave my loom,
With every thread, a world of wisdom blooms.
