Come back Sunday after midnight (CST) and look for "get your poem on"; you have few readers who see your link here. Also, any more that one link in your comment sends you into the spam filter and it might take a while before anyone notices it. Hi Phantom, this is not quite the post you link your poem to.

I have run across quite a few pantoums lately. Seems it is becoming a fresh, "new" form for fresh new poets. Most times I knew it was a form, but didn't know the name. Then, just last night (talk about synchronicity) I read "Pantoum for a Roane County Childbirth, 1942," by Leilani Hall (from Swimming the Witch, 9 to 5 Poet's Poetry Book Club Pick this month). I read it at least three times. It is such a powerful poem, and the repetition is indeed one aspect that gives it its power. Thanks so much for the discussion. I'm psyched to try one!
