Daydreaming with Mahler

The form is pantoum. The form is based on the 15th century Malaysian pantun, which had an abab rhyme as well as the signature 1234 2546 5768 line configuration. As a pantoum(westernized by the french in the 1700's), the rhyming was let go. It hasn't been a popular form in America since the 50's. Thought it would be fun to play with and now I think it is the only thing I care to write. I hope others find my fascination with pantoums palatable. I getting started on a new set with a different topic. I think Lake Erie has played its part well. I think you are right about the word "off". How would "up from " work in its place? It really helps when there is a objective view available. :^) my username is a grouping of my first and middle initials with the first 3 letters of my last name so MrRee becomes Mister Ree which becomes mystery. And yes, you are right... my image is the image of Thoth. I was meditating one day and I thought I had a thought but I didn't. It was an answer and the answer was Thoth. I know this may sound bizzare but ever since then I think with Thoth and Thoth thinks with me. I think some would refer to him as a spirit guide. I just think of him as thought (Thoth). LOL Thanks for reading Monty
