I am an artist, so when I was given an assignment to write a pantoum, I decided to write about my favorite colors. 

The pantoum is a form of poetry from Malaysia that uses repeated lines instead of rhyming for a structure. The pattern starts with four lines, and then every other line is a repeated line, ending with the last line the same as the first.

I use Pantone colors in my digital art, and I liked the alliteration and wordplay in the poem title, Pantone Pantoum. In my poem I contrast the sterile number the Pantone system assigns to each color with the color name and a more personal and emotional description of the color.
