Myth is so powerful that it eventually becomes a fact. Sort of a security blanket for fear. Believing vs the unknown usually wins out over reason. Very thought provoking. Written well under the restrictions you had as in a pantoum. Very enjoyable! Les

I'm not acquainted with the work of Joseph Campbell, but it must be very good to serve as an inspiration to this great Pantoum. The line repetition gives it that special touch.

Comment from boxergirl
This is a good pantoum poem that you
have created for the contest. I also like
the message that we are blind a lot of
time of God's purpose and try to figure
it out on our own which our minds are
incapable of doing. BG

Comment from Nuad1
I liked this work; you certainly could not be uneducated or unfamiliar with Author Campbell's words in order to comprehend your take on it. I like him, too; now I like your work as well. It always amazes me when an author is inspired to write WELL because of another author's work: this is called paying it forward in the most creative of ways.

Many thanks for your very kind review and comments Nuad1. Much appreciated! I like your idea of paying forward the writing of another author. In a sense that is what keeps the classics alive.

Good Evening, Tony
The pantoum is not an easy poetic form to master, but you have done so beautifully. The repeating lines seem to take on a slightly different connotation with each stanza, and more importantly, they feel natural as the read of the poem progresses. The message of your poem is superb.
Well done, my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Smoothiecool
great to have someone that inspires ones writing
you have entered a Pantoum good luck in the contest
you have the right repetitive lines even though you broke it up out of stanzas (I prefer to stay with the stanza)
as poems follow in context any way
you take the reader through the myths and thoughts of ones mind your words allow the reader to see and feel this
flows well easy read
cheers SC

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to review my poem, SC. Very much appreciated. Thank you, too, for your thoughts about the presentation. I am still in two minds about that. Although I think it makes the meaning a bit clearer, you are probably right that it would be better presented in quatrains.

your most welcome
only my thoughts

Comment from ericawrites
This is an excellent quatrain poem,
very well constructed, cleverly
thought out.
The quatrain is a difficult form to
create, but you have nailed it here.

"We now believe with simple faith These minor myths that fill our mind." These last two lines certainly do sum up the current state of affairs nicely. I think you executed the contest requirements brilliantly and have a strong contender here. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

A dazzling placement of words that that without my full understanding took me on a wonderful poetic read, in reviewing I was captured by the mystery of meaning
