nah. not true, jp. i appreciate your response. thanks. but pantoums can be confusing as they appear with different meters and different rhyme schemes. i just wrote another trying to use a 1/2-way decent tetrameter (which i thought nobody used! duh). a favorite pantoum of mine was written by Donald Justice. it's a great one, and you'll see--he doesn't stick to any meter. it's called Pantoum of the Great Depression.
Great poem...but it's not a pantoum if it doesn't have a set metre; either iambic tetrameter or pentameter.

p.s. the only thing that needs sticking to is the way the lines rise and fall and repeat.

The first time I ever heard a pantoum, and that first time was and always will be BREATHTAKING......
