Poetry Tuesday: Pantoum Form

Hello Poetteers, 


Poets on the Page have their weekly poetry prompt up and i'm participating again. This week part of the challenge is to attempt to write a Pantoum.

Winter Air 


The warmth seeped through my hands and reached my heart 
breathing the fresh air after the snowfall 
it touches my nose sharply
like ice fell onto my face 

Breathing the fresh air after the snowfall 
like daggers warning you of what is to come 
like ice fell onto my face 
I take my scarf to cover up, the next time I'm out I'll remember this

Like daggers warning you of what is to come 
it touches my nose sharply
I take my scarf to cover up, the next time I'm out I'll remember this
the warmth seeped through my hands and reached my heart. 

Love, 

Fida

It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming. In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline.

Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion.

Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
