    A Pantoum is a type of poem with a verse form consisting of three stanzas.

    It has a
    set pattern within the poem of repetitive lines.

    The pattern in each stanza is where the second and fourth line of each verse is
    repeated as the first and third of the next. The pattern changes though for the
    last stanza to the first and third line are the second and fourth of the stanza
    above (penultimate). The last line is a repeat of the first starting line of the
    poem and the third line of the first is the second of the last. Confused? Look
    below at our example.
