Emile Pinet Poet Villanelle

Notes About The Poem

 

 

Pink Strawberries

With luscious lips, like succulent cherries,
glistening morsels kissed by morning dew,
her rouge-tinted cheeks like pink strawberries.

She's the undisputed queen of fairies
eyes of aquamarine and glacial blue,
with luscious lips like succulent cherries.

Her hair flows like the wheat on the prairies
shimmering locks of gold and amber hue,
her rouge-tinted cheeks like pink strawberries.

Her mysterious smile seldom varies,
a look that is provocative and true
with luscious lips like succulent cherries.

Her sweet, subtle scent lingers and carries
an aroma that's known to but a few,
her rouge-tinted cheeks like pink strawberries.

A virgin imp from the loins of Aries,
a prize many men would wish to pursue.
With luscious lips like succulent cherries,
her rouge-tinted cheeks like pink strawberries.


(Villanelle)

Darkland Poetry January 14, 2015 at 2:32 AM I'm having a love affair with the villanelle right now & this is a gorgeous example of why. Beautiful flow. Emile Pinet January 14, 2015 at 10:37 AM Thank you Rachel, your comments are both welcomed and appreciated. Emile.

Daver Austin January 12, 2015 at 9:57 AM The title looked so interesting I had to see what you had to say - glad I did. This is a delicious write my friend. Love, daver Emile Pinet January 12, 2015 at 10:27 AM Thank you so much for your vote of confidence and encouragement. Emile.

Paul Callus January 10, 2015 at 4:30 PM Love this beautiful Villanelle, Emile! It happens to be one of my favourite forms. Repeat lines are not as easy as one might assume...there's a 'crafty' line of thought involved! If the repeat lines fail, then all the poem falls to pieces. All the best. // paul (just noticed Olive's comment; Chariot of Fire, a Villanelle, was our latest collaboration.) Emile Pinet January 10, 2015 at 5:14 PM My deepest and sincere thanks for your words of praise and acknowledgment, Emile.
