I've been focusing a lot on writing prose lately. Then it occurred to me that I should write a pantoum. And, it was a little scary, but mostly fun. One day, I will write a pantoum about a pontoon (if someone hasn't done that already).   

 

December 2014

 

these windows were put in for watching
jays battle sparrows for the feeder 
squirrels send them both flying, then the bear... 
while everyone in the house: sleeping 

printer broke, something with the feeder 
head to the store but then forget why 
feel feet on brick, step over sleeping, 
run thumb over screen in your pocket  

call your boyfriend to say you know why
you cry, Christmas on Sesame Street 
nostalgic, so buy a Hot Pocket 
and eat it before going back home 

find the walls torn, your mother father 
squirrels send them both flying, then the bear... 
think where they put the Blu-ray player 
these windows were put in for watching
