Pantoum Poem

Children play on the street,

They hear the music

Wanting the cold refreshments

They run to get money.



They hear the music,

The music getting closer,

They run to get money,

Rushing and rushing



The music getting closer,

The music of the ice cream truck,

Rushing and rushing,

Getting what they want.



The music of the ice cream truck,

Children play on the street,

Getting what they want,

Wanting the cold refreshments

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Another 8th grade poem portfolio. It's obviously about an ice cream truck. All these poems I made back then had some type of restriction and rules to how it rhymed and so on. This one I guess had to repeat certain lines, trust me, if you saw these guidelines then these would sound better.
