Dear William, Your Villanelle is such a wonderful exploration of the dualities within ourselves. I loved the way you intertwine the themes of reflection and vulnerability which is captivating and thought-provoking. Your poetic words about mirrors not only reflect our joys and fears but also hold the power to free us from self-doubt. Your recognition as the Poet of the Week is a testament to your talent and insight. Embrace the journey ahead, knowing that each step taken with patience and knowledge opens new doors of possibility. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, and may your poetic journey continue to inspire and illuminate. - Blessings, Daniel

Highly significant, my friend, William, your opinions are well presented and provide valuable information. Your message has a pervasive impact. The futile rotation and tossing in the darkness, the innocent grasping of keys, and the astute act of unlocking doorsThe user's text is empty.

Writing a Villanella is no easy task, but yours flows and makes me think that writing it must've come fairly easily for you. You inspired me to write one. I especially liked 'gullible holds keys, knowledge opens doors' A wisdom-filled and insightful poem. Faving. Enjoy your day, Sara

Since Brian Strand had this form on his no-no list, I put it on hiatus, but I decided to put Brian on hiatus for a bit. Thanks a whole lot for the Fave--should have made the move earlier--Aloha, William.
