This is an extra post for today in response to the challenge at dVerse Poets’ Pub. The FormForAll lesson for today was on how to write a pantoum. I don’t usually try to write poems in a specific form, and don’t even really know much about different poetic forms, but I’m learning. This form looked interesting and I read a couple of the linked poems that I really liked, so I thought I’d give it a try.
Glimpsing Light in the Darkness
Stumbling in the darkness
Searching for Your light
Perceiving despair’s caress
Filled with dread and fright
Searching for Your light
I know it must be here
Filled with dread and fright
That Your light has disappeared
I know it must be here
Overwhelmed by trepidation
That Your light has disappeared
Then I see Your demonstration
Overwhelmed by trepidation
Not flowing from above
Then I see Your demonstration
Comfort, peace, and love
Not flowing from above
Darkness enveloping me
Comfort, peace, and love
A glimpse of hope I see
Darkness enveloping me
Perceiving despair’s caress
A glimpse of hope I see
Stumbling in the darkness
