Love it! Thanks for teaching me a new (to me) word and form. I'm in a short story cycle on Medium, but will write a pantoum and post it here before posting there in a few weeks when the cycle is complete. By the way, in the past few years I've set some challenges (or prompts) for myself with unfamiliar forms of writing. One of my favorites was the ghazal: www.poetryfoundation.org/learn/glossary-terms/ghazal.
