A pantoum occurs as uncommon form of poetry similar to a villanelle. These are composed of the series of quatrains; a 2nd & 4th lines of every stanza come repeated when the 1st & third lines of the next. This pattern continues for any total of stanzwhen, until a final stanza, which normally contains a number 1 & third lines of the number 1 stanza as its 2nd & quaternary lines. Typically, a final stanza's 4th line is the verse form's number 1, & a third line of a verse form can or even might not pop up when the 2nd line of the final stanza. Ideally, a meaning of lines shifts while it is repeated although a words remain exactly a equivalent: this may be handle shifting punctuation, pun, or even just recontextualizing.
