I decided to write a chant, playing around with the Pantoum format. Hope you like my merry-go-round!

A gorgeous chant as we weather the cold wind here in the East :) winter is just starting. 💝
Enjoyed the read, enhanced by recalling your verbal as I read. Awesome.
A stirring chant, rife with light and hope and truth. So good to hear you recite it, elevating the impact.
I love the rhythm of our verses. It was lovely hearing you say this in the LIVE edition. Thanks so much for joining in.
This is a very good chant. Seems like a magic spell!
I love that swirling sparkling magic dust! Bring it all on! Very lively and welcomed, Cat!
Beautiful. Wow this is really very good.
This is a wonderful chant and a clever weaving of an extended pantoum format. It was especially powerful hearing you read it.
What a lovely Pantoum chant! I agree with Jenna, it is very much like a spell. The repetition of ‘come’ is very alluring, and I love the allusion to fairy tales in ‘spin straws to gold’ – channelling your inner Rumpelstiltskin! I really enjoyed your reading.
I love this chant with its pantoum repetition and circling round–and the repeated “come.” It is like a spell. Wonderful!
I love this … perfect cadence for a timely chant. Cheers.
Very nice! This one reads like a prayer of hope for a better tomorrow!
So nice to spin straw into gold, Hope might be at the root of any type of art. thank you for this.
