The man was notorious of ill repute.
His conduct scandalous critics proclaimed.
That he got things wrong was beyond dispute
But, all things said could he really be blamed?
His conduct was scandalous critics proclaimed
He’d done things he shouldn’t we have to accept
But, all things said could he really be blamed
For all his success he had many regrets.
He’d done things he shouldn’t we have to accept.
The weight of his past would too often poke through
For all his success he had many regrets
They help to explain the things he would do.
The weight of his past would too often poke through
This man so notorious of such ill repute
Condemned for the things that he used to do
Had talents and gifts that none could dispute.
Word of the Day Challenge – Notorious

Very cleverly constructed. It is a coincidence because my tutor on my Creative Writing course gave us a handout about the Pantoum form last week to encourage us to write one for today’s session. I tried but failed. Yours was brilliant. 🙂

Thanks. Some of my prompt responses have felt a bit rushed. Will try a few with formal structure.
