I wrote this last February, when I was experimenting with Villanelle. I am feeling like September would be a good month for Villanelle, Part 2. I love the form, but in retrospect, attempting this in a month so full of.... STUFF... what was I thinking?
This piece asks some important questions of the reader.
What does this villanelle want me to know? Like thick color drips, dense hues of van Gogh a Kempis, new old friend, words to bestow The blues descend due to the final show – Step into intention, reap what I sow Feet firm to the earth, arms raised, to go
I drive into the early morning sun
My theme now, radical grace, waves hello – -
Unscatter goals lying about, undone
What does this villanelle want me to know?
VDay rehearsal, truth tales spin
My them now, radical grace, waves hello – -
In some ways it felt one life had begun
What does this villanelle want me to know?
Drudgery is play, blockages are fun
My theme now, radical grace, waves hello – -
Ease drops deception this very first one
What does this villanelle want me to know?
My theme now, radical grace, waves hello – -
