Pantoum for Gnomes Poems

If The Wind Be

a ship and her sea a moon,
travelling run and drift
a trimmed sail is a whirlwind,
occasional dew and mist.

travelling run and drift
in avoidance of its fury,
occasional dew and mist,
is uncertainty of direction.

in avoidance of its fury,
sailing around a compass,
is uncertainty of direction,
wind sending air in motion.

sailing around a compass,
a trimmed sail is a whirlwind,
wind sending air in motion,
a ship and her sea. a moon

  2. Lovely pantoum – particularly like the ‘travelling run and drift’ – the turning back on itself and the repetitions: a whirlwind, occasional. So good.
