"Pantoum Pantomime"

You are my petite papaverine
A dancing angel spire
My black dramatic queen
My motley spinning spider

A dancing angel spire
Like an erotic harlequin
My motely spinning spider
Gesticulating sin

Like an erotic harlequin
Put forth on promenade
Gesticulating sin
Who sweeps the rest away

Put forth on promenade
Like the fruit of Belladonna
Who sweeps the rest away
With her sweet and deadly flora

Like the fruit of Belladonna
You kill without a sound
With her sweet and deadly flora
You bear me to the ground

You kill without a sound
On a stage with painted faces
You bear me to the ground
With leather and with laces

On a stage with painted faces
I join her as the clown
With leather and with laces
Her lips a painted frown

I join her as the clown
A depressing harlequinade
Her lips a painted frown
A vulgar masquerade

A depressing harlequinade
My black dramatic queen
A vulgar masquerade
You are my petite papaverine

My first attempt at a Pantoum. They are redundant by nature but I like the theme I chose.

I love this. It's the best example of a pantoum I've seen. Mind if I link you on my page about pantoums?
