Melani Udaeta Poet Villanelle

Poetry Is Like Puzzles

Poetry is like puzzles or paint
coming together a bit at a time;
The design bold or sometimes faint;

Often requiring self restraint 
it’s such a tall mountain to climb;
Poetry is like puzzles or paint;

Never interested in playing it straight;
From the softest pink to neon lime 
the design bold or sometimes faint;

Prose like a picture must be traced,
blended with soul, rhythm, and rhyme;
Poetry is like puzzles or paint;

With this box of crayons you translate 
your demons into something sublime; 
The design bold or sometimes faint;

Imagination the fundamental trait,
like the base coat it will prime;
Poetry is like puzzles or paint,
the design bold or sometimes faint.
