My own definition of Pantoum:
• A poem that has the second and fourth lines of one stanza repeating as the first and third line in the next stanza.
Example of a Pantoum
As she dances on the moonlit glen
Taking in the freshness of the air
She is alone, but not lonely
She is surrounded by spirits
Taking in the freshness of the air
Searching again for her silent companions
She is surrounded by spirits
They watch the contentment she holds
Searching again for her silent companions
She is alone, but not lonely
They watch the contentment she holds
As she dances on the moonlit glen
