John Sensele Poet Villanelle

A Man's Memoirs

I have loved the best
In my tenure as a blue-eyed boy
Injecting zeal and zest in my quest.

I have bestowed care in my romance to attest
To the enduring power of joint joy
I have loved the best.

I have sacrificed ego-tripping to request
My partner to dole out her lifebuoy
Injecting zeal and zest in my quest.

I have striven to rise to my romance crest
Where in my partner’s convoy I scaled the Savoy
 I have loved the best.

I have pondered my romance roadmap to digest
The degree and depth of complacency to destroy
Injecting zeal and zest in my quest.

I have committed to my soulmate my life in earnest
To rid romance of recidivism as a preferred ploy
I have loved the best
Injecting zeal and zest in my quest.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 17, 2018 at 11:24 PM I love the rhythm and feel of this poem! "Injecting zeal and zest in my quest" is an awesome line and I loved it more every time. I personally love using select repetition like that, not over done, more like a great bass line in a piece of music, a heartbeat. Good stuff :)
