Pantoum (needs a title)

I can't seem to get it to work right. ALL suggestions greatly appreciated.

---------------------------------------------

As I sit alone, beneath the pale moon light,
Stars above me shine down their glow,
The raging tide of sleep I try to fight.
As faeries sing upon the land below.

Stars above me shine down their eerie glow.
I cannot miss the magic of this night.
As faeries sing upon the land below,
The mighty dragons begin their evening flight

I cannot miss the magic of this night
For though mortal I may be, and grounded,
The mighty dragons begin their evening flight
To carry me away to worlds unfounded.

For though mortal I may be, and grounded,
As fey mist begins to swirl upon the land
To carry me away to worlds unfounded
And dreams I can't begin to understand

As fey mist begins to swirl upon the land.
The raging tide of sleep I try to fight,
And dreams I can't begin to understand,
As I sit alone, beneath the pale moon light.

Not sure about the 'Pantoum' thing. I'll have to check it out. But nice 'Fantasy'.

Cherley, you might want to look up the bulletin titled "Pantoums, Anyone?" for an explanation for all the pantoums cropping up on ER.

See ya soon,

I enjoyed this. I'm not familiar with the style but it seems that you did very well with it.

Thanks, Mark. I may as well TRY to hold on to the metre

IP meter: "The gentle grip of sleep I try to fight"
or: "The raging tide of sleep I try to fight"
...if you're interested in USING IP meter.

Just some other suggestions.
