Pantoum Poem by Emily Zheng

Pantoum Poem by Emily Zheng

Dedicated by the Pennsylvanian Society of Sons of the Revolution
Freedom is a light in which many men have died in darkness
“I’m getting my glucose test so I’m sitting here.”
“Barry the soldier has a sword.”

Freedom is a light in which many men have died in darkness
“What are you two doing?”
“Barry the soldier has a sword.”
“This is between me and Chuck.”

“What are you two doing?”
Please not in our garden
“This is between me and Chuck.”
“I can’t hear you.”

Please not in our garden
“I’m getting my glucose test so I’m sitting here.”
“I can’t hear you.”

  2. This is Emily's poem (hi I'm Helen) but I do agree with the above comment on the flow; I like the quotes and how random they are! They work well together :)

  3. I enjoy the use of overheard comments and conversations in concert with more sober lines found in the park. It gives the work a kind of dark humor, especially in the second stanza where the back and forth of the conversation is punchy and humorous.
