Analysis of Under the Stars
Lying next to you under the stars.
Hearing softest whispers in the breeze.
Sweetest dreams erasing daylight scars.
Peaceful mind embracing all it sees.
Hearing softest whispers in the breeze. Moonlight casts its glow in summer air.
Peaceful mind embracing all it sees.
Special are these moments that we share.
Moonlight casts its glow in summer air.
Joyously I watch you as you sleep.
Special are these moments that we share.
Pockets full of memories to keep.
Joyously I watch you as you sleep.
Sweetest dreams erasing daylight scars.
Pockets full of memories to keep.
Lying next to you under the stars.

About this poem
This is a Pantoum. It is a poem with 4 line stanzas in which lines 2 and 4 of one stanza become lines 1 and 3 of the next. This pattern continues throughout the poem. In the last stanza, lines 1 and 3 of first stanza become lines 2 and 4, in reverse order, so that poem begins and ends with the same line. Also every other line must rhyme. I’ve written only a few because honestly it’s a challenge. But if you like challenges, try it.
