20 | "Through the sequence" [pantoum]

All of the poets make their effort
all of the poems sound their say
maybe a sentence kindles comfort
others awaken vague dismay
all of the poems sound their say
threading a string of glassy globes
others awaken vague dismay
maybe recalling vanished hopes

threading a string of glassy globes
  could existence be concised?
maybe recalling vanished hopes
  might emotion be deviced?
  could existence be concised?
through every line on breath unfolding
  might emotion be deviced?
as in the hand an object holding

through every line on breath unfolding
lodged in the line a thought is shown
as in the hand an object holding
throughout the sequence run a tone
lodged in the line a thought is shown
hasn't the heart thus loved and suffered?
throughout the sequences run a tone
all of the poets make their effort

The cadence in this poem is fairly similar to the cadence found in some forms of the Hindustani genre of verse called doha.
