Pantoum Collaboration

lines 1 and 3 by harlan blynn

Pantoum - a workshop collaboration with all writers contributing two lines.  I wrote lines 1 and 3 and passed the poem to my right. 

Alluring aspens awaken at night
All together, all alluring, all calling
The hickory helps heal what hurts
Be aware. Beware

All together, all alluring, all calling
Danger in the dramaturg’s dungeon
Be aware. Beware.
Elsewhere elves entrap eels

Danger in the dramaturg’s dungeon
Leaping lizards linger underfoot
Elsewhere elves entrap eels
Tortured toadstools tilt my way

Leaping lizards linger underfoot
Alluring aspens awaken at night
Tortured toadstools tilt my way
The hickory helps heal what hurts
