NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 23

NaPoWriMo Day 23. Prompt from napowrimo.net for today was to write a poem about an animal. But then I came across @the.riya.roy (Check her out on Instagram) who had shared a poem she wrote for last year's poetry challenge, in response  to a prompt from Airplane Poetry Movement who had asked us to write a pantoum.

So I thought, why not put the two things together and see what happens?

N.B: My attempt is a rather loose interpretation of the pantoum structure where the 2nd & 4th lines of a preceding stanza are not necessarily exactly repeated in the 1st and 3rd lines of the succeeding one.

But this was fun to write. 

And now for some other stuff. First, my poem  'Scent ' is now up on Issue 7 of the Minute Magazine. You can also check out the podcast version of it on Soundcloud, iTunes or Spotify.

Finally, last plug of the day, if you've not already read it, please check out my Antarctica travelogue. Pretty please?

I love you.
