Pantoum For A Camping Trip Poem by Michael Philips
Pantoum For A Camping Trip
I forgot the bug spray
So mosquitoes keep attacking me
Some guy brought a blender for Happy Hour
And some people even bring their TVs
So mosquitoes keep attacking me
There are too many man-made noises
And some people even bring their TVs
Which I don’t understand.
There are too many man-made noises.
The nature walk is closed
Which I don’t understand
Even though it’s not my favorite activity
.
The nature walk is closed
So I commune with the panhandling squirrels
Even though it’s not my favorite activity.
We pitched the tent next to our beloved car
So I commune with the panhandling squirrels
Someone’s bug zapper keeps me up all night
We pitched the tent next to our beloved car
Which makes camping sort of surreal.
Someone’s bug zapper keeps me up all night
That guy with the blender never went to sleep
Which makes camping sort of surreal.
The bathrooms are the real adventure.
the repetitions were similar to what you did the other day on 'circular logic' but i felt that this worked much better. this combines some of the best aspects of your work.
Man, you make me want to take up camping! : -) I think the form you use is great for the subject matter! I enjoyed the poem enormously, you have a great sense of humor. (Or at least, one like mine!) Isn't that something...how you can create such an enjoyable poem out of such a hellish experience!
The repetitions make it even more fun...! Have more trips like this, hurhur!

SOOOOO, you were the one next to us that night who kept shouting, 'Would you please shut of that blender and go to bed? ? ? ? ? ! ! ! ' Very funny.
