Indignities

Bonnie didn't want to offer a prompt because she did not write a poem for the last one, but I told her I am sure no one will mind, and would want to hear from her. So her prompt is:

Indignities

I think we could even consider dignity and indignities, give it a bit more breadth.

Demi-Pantoum

This week's prompt is from Tad (with obsessive bullets by Victoria...)

Here's a variation on a popular form, created by poet Allison Joseph. She calls it the demi-pantoum.

It consists of:

  • 4-line stanzas, 
  • rhymed ABAB. 
  • The third line of one stanza becomes the first line of the next stanza, but that's the only repetition. So it has something of the feeling of a pantoum, but it's a little looser. 
  • The first line of the poem is used somewhere in the final stanza. 
So that's this week's challenge. Write a demi-pantoum.

If anyone needs an example, Tad will send one.
