It is dreary in the winter air,
All the world is soundless, I sigh.
Only by silence does the world declare,
To your sorrows I turn a blind eye.

All the world is soundless, I sigh.
Please don’t think of me tonight,
To your sorrows I turn a blind eye.
I can’t help you, not with all my might.

Please don’t think of me tonight.
Only by silence does the world declare,
I can’t help you, not with all my might.
It is dreary in the winter air.

The form of the poem is intended to be repeating becasue it is a pantoum. Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :) Hopefully I will have more work to come.

This is really good. I like how the words flow and they have a definate rhyme to them. Just be careful about repetitivness. It's okay in this, but if you're not carefull it can get out of hand. Make sure to watch for that! :)
