Pantoum poem example
I felt spoiled rotten!
As I wake up in the morning
My turtle eating food
My mum cleaning
My dad in a mood
My turtle eating food
Bewildered and curious
My dad was in a mood
At my sister who was furious
Bewildered and curious
That’s how I was feeling
At my sister that was furious
While her things I was stealing
That’s how I was feeling
My brother started to moan
While her things I was stealing
Because he had bought me my own
My brother started to moan
I felt guilty and spoiled rotten
Because he had bought me my own
Comforted me like cotton
I felt guilty and spoiled rotten
My mum cleaning
Comforted me like cotton
As I wake up in the morning
