Notes About The Poem

Naomi's and Stanley Torment - the Villanelle of the Home

Naomi's and Stanley Torment - The Villanelle Of The Home


Naomi couldn't stop thinking about the home
It was just so splendid and perfect
so excited that she was approved of, the loan 

That morning, Naomi was shocked by the stones
All around the garden she had to calm herself 
Naomi couldn't stop thinking about the foam
All around the kitchen faucet
The hot water came out cold and salty


She tried to focus on a plumber
But she could never remember the number

Stanley her husband tried to distract her with a hug a kiss
Said it was time to start thinking about an a home inspection
Naomi couldn't stop thinking about the homes misdirection

Naomi took action like a champ
The home was becoming too circumspect
But she could never forget the tone
As her husband took the roll
Before signing the closing papers


Naomi nosedived like a happy baby born
Her mind turned into a defect
Naomi couldn't stop thinking about the home
But she could never forget the passing loan
Before hand the plumbers came and fixed the problem
