Psimon Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 This is my first crack at a Villanelle. Very plain - not particularly clever with my linkages or wordage for that matter, but it is a first experiment with the form. I must say, I enjoyed this 'dipping of the toes' Come away with me ********************* Come away with me tonight and do not leave my love behind. We will watch our hearts take flight It is to you that I recite and to all else I may seem blind. Come away with me tonight. We'll stand upon that dizzy height, yes, as we stand, our arms entwined, We will watch our hearts take flight. For though they rage with all their might, our love will not remain confined. Come away with me tonight. From this cold world we seek respite as to it's ways we're misaligned. We will watch our hearts take flight. In the soft, still morning light my heart to yours and yours to mine. Come away with me tonight, We will watch our hearts take flight
Peredhil Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 I think one reason I read so many of your poems is that I'm a sappy Romantic. I liked this.
