Poem

I wonder why these words are short
When they should have been rather long,
That, we have fair time to abort.

Fine, we’re not in judicial court,
Nor are scared of the judge’s gong,
Wonder still why the words are short.

There are those caught as if in fort
And feel, an abrupt ‘no’ is wrong,
Wish, they’d enough time to abort,

And say no in a polite sort
Of way that sounds a sweet dingdong,
I wonder why yes too is short.

None of the two should be so curt
And should be said like a sweet song
That gives enough time to abort.

To say them well’s a rare fine art
T’be cultivated all along,
I wonder why these words are short,
We need enough time to abort.

Villanelle |02.10.2024|word, yes, no

Poet’s note:  We often find it so difficult to say no, we are forced to say yes under pressure. Why? Perhaps both ‘yes’ and’ no’ as words are so short, they do not give us enough time to think. This Villanelle is born from this lack of comfort. 
 
To reach to thy heart
I wrote poems all my life.
Too late on my part
When I knew in utter strife,
The roadblocks were far too rife.
