Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

Dragons Do Exist

I would be amiss if I didn't acknowledge these
Reptiles in our fairy tales are real.
They're not fictionist.
This is so surreal.
I have something to reveal
Dragons do Exist!
I would be amiss if I didn't acknowledge these
Reptiles in our fairy tales are real.
I think it's a big deal
Because we coexist.
This is so surreal
These creatures have a magical and historical 
Appeal.
Dragons live in South Africa, Indonesia, India,
Philipines, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and in
Tropical rain forests in mist.
I would be amiss if I didn't acknowledge these
Reptiles in our fairy tales are real.
This is a big ordeal
I had to spread the news. I couldn't resist.
This is so surreal.
How do you feel?
To know this is not a gist.
I would be amiss if I didn't acknowledge these
Reptiles in our fairy tales are real.
This is so surreal.

Andrea Dietrich March 21, 2020 at 4:28 PM cool dragon villanelle, Bette. And I always find it so interesting how you pattern your lines!

M. L. Kiser March 5, 2020 at 10:58 PM I love dragons, great Villanelle! Bette Bavington March 10, 2020 at 4:44 PM Thank you. Me too. I think they are so awesome. I have a lot of children and grandchildren each one has a special thing that they like. It was so much fun to see the expression on my child's face when she was told they were real. That would of been a kodiac moment.

Jessica Renee Dawson February 29, 2020 at 10:00 PM The fluidity is impressive especially considering just how constricting the form is to write. The poem is a fun read. Bette Bavington March 1, 2020 at 9:15 AM Thank you for your kind words. I hope you have a great day.
