Day 15

On Day 15 writers are prompted to write a pantun, which is a traditional Malay form consisting of rhyming quatrains of 8-12 syllables. The first non-rhyming couplet is supposed to have a link to the second non-rhyming couplet which is unclear but implied. This is a pantun, not a pantoum, though they are apparently related.

 

I find life to be ever so queer

In the ring, is my hat, for the tossing

But that fresh springtime is here

And the white tulips are blossoming
