FISHSLIMEPOETRY
I’ve been all about writing pantoums and palindromes lately. This is my fusion of the two. Second and fourth line of each stanza is the first and third of the next, except the order of the words is reversed. OOooOOOoooooOOooooHHHH. Also the last stanza’s second and fourth lines are the first stanza’s first and third, ALSO REVERSED.
Mr. Gacy and Me
clowns pretend
by their jibes
between their painted smiles
happiness lies
Jibes. thereby
a family’s grand
lies. Happiness
(crumpled frowns)
Grand family
(a pathetic collection)
Frowns crumpled
like floppy shoes
Collect apathetic
pretend clowns,
shoes floppy, like
smiles painted there between
