This week's the word: allure
I was challenged by Tim aka gileson to try the Pantoum style of poetry (which I did). If any of you are up for a double challenge this week, why don't you try one too?
Pantoum
The pantoum consists of a series of quatrains rhyming ABAB in which the second and fourth lines
of a quatrain recur as the first and third lines in the succeeding quatrain; each quatrain introduces a
new second rhyme as BCBC, CDCD. The first line of the series recurs as the last line of the closing
quatrain, and third line of the poem recurs as the second line of the closing quatrain, rhyming ZAZA.
The design is simple:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5 (repeat of line 2)
Line 6
Line 7 (repeat of line 4)
Line 8
Continue with as many stanzas as you wish, but the ending stanza then repeats the second and
fourth lines of the previous stanza (as its first and third lines), and also repeats the third line of
the first stanza, as its second line, and the first line of the first stanza as its fourth. So the first
line of the poem is also the last.
Last stanza:
Line 2 of previous stanza
Line 3 of first stanza
Line 4 of previous stanza
Line 1 of first stanza
The Succubus
She came to me that night
Filled with much allure
Feigning a great plight
Seeking a dark cure
Filled with much allure
She wormed into my heart
Seeking a dark cure
She gave me quite a start
She wormed into my heart
Hypnotizing me
She gave me quite a start
Joining astrally
Hypnotizing me
Seductive ecstasy
Joining astrally
Midnight fantasy
Seductive ecstasy
Tied now spir'tually
Midnight fantasy
Deeper than the sea
Tied now spir'tually
We loved for many days
Deeper than the sea
In oh so many ways
We loved for many days
And then we were engaged
Deeper than the sea
I feel it all was staged
And then we were engaged
But soon I was betrayed
I feel it all was staged
A crushing price I paid
But soon I was betrayed
Feigning a great plight
A crushing price I paid
She came to me that night
