Quaint the loud woman's silent sobs,
Refreshing to see her quiet joy.
Oh my dear ones don't you know?
She descried the wooden duck decoy.

Refreshing to see her quiet joy.
Nearby, children gathered round the lake.
She descried the wooden duck decoy
By the water’s edge a solitary drake.

Nearby children gathered 'round the lake,
Casting crusts on the water to entice
By the water's edge a solitary drake
Caught in ripples among the drift ice. 

Casting crusts on the water to entice
To unbind it, it is sufficient to say: 
Caught in ripples among the drift ice. 
Here, is where our demons demise

Lawrence Beck Line 2 & 4 of the 4th stanza don't have to rhyme but they have to repeat the lines 2&4 of the 3rd stanza as lines 1&3. Any other rhyming is accidental but if you still feel that we need to change that and have a suggestion, let us now and we can find a way to figure it out, make it work:)

We are currently at the beginning of stanza 6 now and you or anyone else get the chance to start over as already instructed in our pantoum challenge and here.

The craft has sunk. "Say" and "demise" don't rhyme.

Daughters weave wreaths of lotus blossoms

It keeps more love coming their way away
