JOann, keep trying villanelles. You are doing very well especially if this is your first one. I hope to see more new poems of yours posted soon. Saw you "connecting" at the blogs and just wanted to come say hello to you and wish you a happy new year!

Dear Joann - "fragile essence" - I think describes most all of us. I don't know what a villanelle is, but I know what a connection is and you have made it brilliantly. If only we could turn our insides out to one another we might find great comraderie and obstructed love. love, kathy

You did tremendously awesome with this Villanelle, a very difficult form to write in! You have masterfully accomplished what few could do, a fantastic poem with this form on your first try! What a serious and intriguing piece you have written Joann! I really enjoyed reading this wondrously powerful poem this afternoon! Great Work!!

Nice to see you back again Joann!
