The Coming Of Spring - A Pantoum Poem by Patricia Denise Newman

The Coming Of Spring - A Pantoum

Rating: 5.0


Winter's long days are almost done

Though furrowed fields lie dormant still

Overhead shines a gentle sun

Its promise of spring yet to fill


Though furrowed fields lie dormant still

Waiting for that warmth from above

Its promise of spring yet to fill

The young buds are forced from their glove


Waiting for that warmth from above

Tender shoots of green now appear

The young buds are forced from their glove

Assured that spring is almost here


Tender shoots of green now appear

Overhead shines a gentle sun

Heralding spring - now so near

Winter's long days are almost done.

And now we are well into spring, and I can get some work done on my vegetable allotment. Nice poem Patricia. Does this form of poem, with the repeated lines, have a name pray tell? I'm no great scholar, being only Secondary school educated.
