Oh, I like this. I love the form (of course) but I especially like how you used the beginnings of the lines to make the poem move. I also noticed the move from design to describe--clever way to change meaning as pantoums need. Very clever.

I vote for the votive! Love that the box is man-sized as you assert your right to cast that vote.

This is delicious. I love the word and image play - and the being freed from practical purpose!

Oh, nice. Love the rhythm and the way that you ran with alternate definitions. I wanted to be there.

In response to "writing poetry be like"

Absolutely. I liked the herdier cats and like a simile, because I thought I was going to go with something like that until I started writing. I've loved reading your poetry this month, as always.

Yes, a poem can be all and then some, especially when it comes from your pen. I love reading your poetry and thanks for this April.

I love it. So many fun ways to explore what writing poetry is like. Some cats are indeed herdier than others!

It was wonderful to write with you this month.

Indeed, good questions! I'm glad your students were so engaged and also faced the truth of the difficulty!
