She | A Pantoum
by Sam Harty
______________________
She stands tall and proud in a crowd.
The beauty in her soul is reflected in my eyes.
She's not demure, yet she's never loud.
For her youth, her wisdom will take you by surprise.

The beauty in her soul is reflected in my eyes.
There are times I can hardly look away from her.
For her youth, her wisdom will take you by surprise.
She's more precious than jewels and furs.

There are times I can hardly look away from her.
She has me totally entranced.
She's more precious than jewels and furs.
Her communication is like a dance.

She has me totally entranced.
I hang on her every word.
Her communication is like a dance.
She knows what I'm thinking, as if I she'd heard.
--
I hang on her every word.
She stands tall and proud and is never loud
Her communication is like a dance of swords.
For her youth, her wisdom will surprise crowds.

very heartfelt and from what I know, executed well! well done, it is one style along with sonnet and cinquian or however its spelled that I have yet to try!
That hit the form, although you can tailor it to your own length while keep ing the repeated form.
You executed this form so brilliantly! Loved it!
Beautiful 🤩
