While pantoums can have unlimited stanzas, you might want to begin with a 3-stanza poem until you get the hang of it: <br>Stanza 1: Line 1/Line 2/Line 3/Line 4<br>Stanza 2: Line 5 (repeat of line 2 in stanza 1) /Line 6 (new line) /Line 7 (repeat of line 4 in stanza 1) /<br>Line 8 (new line) <br>Stanza 3/Last Stanza (This is the format for the last stanza regardless of how many preceding stanzas exist) : Line 9 (line 2 of the previous stanza) /Line 10 (line 3 of the first stanza) /Line 11 (line 4 of the previous stanza) /Line 12 (line 1 of the first stanza) </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And you ask me to leave all behind<br>Now when our moment in time is done<br>Going nowhere with nothing in mind<br>'Cause you're my world and my special one</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Now when our moment in time is done<br>I love you like there's no end in sight<br>'Cause you're my world and my special one<br>You're still on my mind all day and night.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>I love you like there's no end in sight<br>You're inside me filling my soul's space<br>You're still on my mind all day and night.<br>I feel still cuddled in your embrace</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>You're inside me filling my soul's space<br>Going nowhere with nothing in mind<br>I feel still cuddled in your embrace<br>And you ask me to leave it all behind</div><div style="margin:10px 0"></div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Marieta+Maglas">Marieta Maglas</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=454257" data-title="You ask me to leave (Pantoum poetry) de Marieta Maglas" data-description="The “pantun” is a Malaysian poetic form that was introduced to the West by French novelist, essayist, and poet, Victor Hugo (1802-1885) , hence the French spelling, “pantoum.” Westerners have taken creative liberties with the Malaysian for..."></div> </div> </div>
