Never Say Goodbye – A Pantoum Poetry

 

Poet’s note: I have tried the Pantoum poetry form. It hails from Malaysia. In this, the poet must repeat(almost) the second and fourth lines of one stanza as the first and third lines, respectively, in the next. Some poets repeat lines from the first stanza in the last stanza, too. It does not adhere to any meteric form, is without a rhyme and has a minimum of four quatrains.

Caressing the sky shyly, it indolently rises- A

Waking the world to its wild gaze and power- B

The Sun culminating its stately sojourn across, – C

Dips, dressing the sky in elegant fashions. – D

 

The world wakes to its wild gaze and power- B

Rejuvenated, refreshed, works to capture time till it lasts -E

The dipping sun dresses the sky in elegant fashions – D

Beats a silent retreat yet never says goodbye!- F

 

Rejuvenated, refreshed to capture time till it lasts – E

All living beings hurry about doing their daily tasks – G

At sundown, beat a silent retreat yet never say goodbye – F

To cherished ones who orchestrate music of love for them.- H

 

All living beings hurry about doing their daily tasks – G

Synergising their energies for the greater good – I

Of cherished ones who orchestrate music of love for them -H

Rising, dipping rhythmically like the Sun yet… never say goodbye! – J
