Poem Title:
Poem
The following are Ten Villanelles written over a couple of nights. I was numbering them because I knew I wouldn't be able to post all at the same time. The Villanelle is repetitive and maybe that's the reason I like it so much, or maybe the reason I use it so much. The thougts playing in my head over and over, really like a song. I know that as you read some things are repetitive, maybe almost exactly stated in another Villanelle. I do not usually read my work after it is posted, other than occasionally checking on things formerly written. I decided not to title them at this point, other than numbers, because other than one or two of them could all have the same name. If you've read many of my villanelles, there won't be a lot of fascinating new ideas here, like a said just mostly thoughts repeating. I just don't want anyone getting bored by the third one and wondering why they are still reading. Thanks for reading and always any feedback is welcome, criticism, anything at all. 1 There's no last chance to say goodbye A chapter finally ends with much regret Too many times I've asked myself why Constantly I wanted to return, I did try To rekindle that moment when we met There's no last chance to say goodbye Surely we both question this great lie The course of finality now laid and set Too many times I've asked myself why A never ending plea my soul does cry To my bad choices I still pay the debt There's no last chance to say goodbye Looking now forward into the night's sky No will now, what can I hope or expect Too many times I've asked myself why One certainty I am never able to deny The very thing, you now seem to forget There's no last chance to say goodbye Too many times I've asked myself why
