gentle

as I go back to work
i'll keep 'gentle' in mind
creating boundaries
making space for me

i'll keep 'gentle' in mind
as i talk with people
making space for me
and respecting our needs

as i talk with people
i'll be profissional, no feelings attached
respecting our needs
the lessons will trive

i'll be profissional, no feelings attached
practical and efficient
the lessons will trive
and i'll be plenty


people will adapt
creating boundaries
as a lesson for them
making space for me
 



W3 :: A pantoum unfolds in four-line stanzas, with each stanza carrying two lines into the next:
  • The second line becomes the first line of the next stanza.
  • The fourth line becomes the third line of the next stanza.
  • Add new lines in the second and fourth positions, letting the repeated lines gather fresh meaning in their new surroundings.
  • Continue for as many stanzas as you like. To bring the poem full circle, the final stanza traditionally uses the opening stanza’s third line as its second line, and the poem’s opening line as its closing line.
