Writing a Villanellea Tanka by LMM

Writing a villanelle

is not a small feat for me!

What to ponder and

place upon the plain white sheet

takes all my talent and skills.

Learn for the Rest of Your LifeA Villanelle by LMM

Learn for the rest of your life.

Mould a mind with a new lease.

Keep your mind as sharp as a knife.

Work your way through endless strife.

Follow the flight of the wise geese.

Learn for the rest of your life.

Always play your own true fife

To the tune of a man at peace.

Keep your mind as sharp as a knife.

Learn for the Rest of Your Life

Beware the tongue of a nasty wife

Or the whims of a sassy niece.

Learn for the rest of your life.

Skirt the dangers of a lowlife

And feel life with a new release.

Keep your mind as sharp as a knife.

Jump over the hurdles of strife

And like sheep renew your fleece.

Learn for the rest of your life.

Keep your mind as sharp as a knife.
