11 | "In printer's ink" [pantoum]

Fifty pantoums   in early autumn written
how would that do for a title?   what do you think?
it's quite alright   if you say you're not so smitten
when you picture these words   displayed in printer's ink
how would that do for a title?   what do you think?
maybe I'll change the way they hit the bottom
when you picture these words   displayed in printer's ink
fifty pantoums   written in early autumn

maybe I'll change the way they hit the bottom
written in early autumn   fifty pantoums
fifty pantoums   written in early autumn?
fifty infants emerge   from fifty wombs
Written in early autumn   fifty pantoums
by Jove!   I rather think that three's the charm
fifty infants emerge   from fifty wombs
may heaven keep their reader safe from harm

by Jove!   I rather think that three's the charm
I might allow   a title has arrived
may heaven keep their reader safe from harm
I wonder if in end   they shall have thrived?
I might allow   a title has arrived
the air's not cold enough to warrant mittens
I wonder if in end   they shall have thrived?
fifty pantoums   in early autumn written
