Anonomus Scorpio Poet Villanelle

Notes About The Poem

Written: December 24 2023 For the contest: This or That, Vol. 22 Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh

Desperate Hope- Glowing Obsidian

A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within
Flowers; a painless, healing, prescription of treatment 
Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian

Happiness; gives sharp antithesis of lifes oblivion
Tectonic; the plate layer produces a fiery quill of lament
A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within

Waving; a molten brush of colors, results cascadian
A surgeons gift; to be given, a unique scalpel of torment
Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian

Emotional eruptions; give way to a physical custodian
Islands of hope; from a mind, of seas with dubious intent
A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within

Feelings so igneous; venting becomes it's guardian
A healing phase; melting purposely cooled stone indent
Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian

A cinder cone; written to perform acts so tragedian
Dormant, till; the next event of this calderas' fulfillment
A light instrument flows, ink darkness; folded within
Such secure grounding, found; in glowing obsidian

Silent One December 25, 2023 at 8:15 AM You did the form very well, did you do it for bot the villanelle and the this or that contest? Anonomus Scorpio December 25, 2023 at 8:35 AM This particular one I just wrote because I like the form... I did enter it into This or That...(The title will change to my intended after the contest) I don't enter many contests during the year. Typically over the winter seems to be when I have the most time for them. Thank you very much for the compliment! A.S.
