Upon Writing a Villanelle
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.
