From Wikipedia:
The pantoum is a form of poetry (where)there are repeating lines throughout the poem...(T)he second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. This pattern continues...except for the final stanza, which differs in the repeating pattern. The first and third lines of the last stanza are the second and fourth of the last; the first line of the poem is the last line of the final stanza, and the third line of the first stanza is the second of the final.
Lilacs in bloom
A lavender treat
Scent fills the room
Bringing memories sweet
A lavender treat
For eyes to behold
Bringing memories sweet
That ever unfold
For eyes to behold
Petals go on display
And ever unfold
For my pleasure each day
Petals go on display
Scent fills the room
For my pleasure each day
Lilacs in bloom.
