**TikTok Sparks Global Interest in Pantoum Poetry Form**
**NEW YORK, NY – [Date]** A unique type of poetry is finding new life online. The social media app TikTok is helping the pantoum gain worldwide attention. This is exciting news for poetry fans.
The pantoum is a special poem structure. It comes from Malaysia originally. People brought it to France long ago. Poets in France changed it slightly. Then it spread to English-speaking countries. A pantoum uses repeating lines in a set pattern. The second and fourth lines of one stanza become the first and third lines of the next. This creates a weaving effect. It often talks about memories or feelings.
TikTok creators are now using this old form. They make short videos featuring pantoums. Some creators read their own pantoums aloud. Others show the words on screen with pictures or video. The repeating lines work well for short videos. People remember them easily. Viewers enjoy the rhythm and the connections between lines. Many users comment they have never seen this form before.
Teachers and libraries are noticing this trend too. They see young people exploring poetry differently. The platform makes poetry feel fresh and fun. It breaks down old ideas about stuffy poems. Creators explain the rules simply in their videos. This helps others understand. Many viewers feel inspired to write their own pantoums. They share their attempts online using hashtags.
