Question: Care to comment on my pantoum!?
Why can't you open up to me!?
You're special and I care for you!.
We know it isn't hard to see!.
I'll show you life you never knew!.

You're special and I care for you!.
Must I unlock a reason why!?
I'll show you life you never knew!.
What's so sad about one goodbye!?

Must I unlock a reason why!?
We know it isn't hard to see!.
What's so sad about one goodbye!?
Why can't you open up to me!?

It's very nice, but too short unless there is such a thing as a three stanza pantoum!. Usually they are five stanza long!.

Swoosh - pearls before swine! I won't say more on that!.

This is perfect!. How you managed to get it to sound so flowing with the restrictions of a pantoum I don't know!. I an inspired to try one myself!. Is the secret to make sure each sentence can exist by itself!? Then, of course you must concentrate on one message - if you change, then the choppiness sets in!.

Thanks for reminding me of these!.
Well doneWww@QuestionHome@Com

Did you notice that the last two stanzas are the same but rearranged!? I don't like it!. I don't think it's unique or special in any way and the repition makes me sick!. No offense!. >:)Www@QuestionHome@Com

It might make a good song!. The lyrics are a little repetitious and that works in that form!. Light but effective!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, it's interesting!. I think you can rework it a little and it would be better!. You do repeat things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's ok!.
There doesn't seem to be much depth to it!.
More like a letter to someone!.
Just my opinion!.
Nice:)Www@QuestionHome@Com
