Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

Relax

Work the loom 
Weave the trouble some
Thread through what will be an heirloom 
To hang in your living room.
It takes away the tedium.
Work the loom
Feel as it consumes
Anything meddlesome
Thread through what will be an heirloom.
Watch the colors bloom
You'll be the first to see what it will become.
Work the loom 
In your drawing-room 
You can do it at night or in the middle of the afternoon. 
Thread through what will be an heirloom 
Don't fume
This is opportune
Work the loom
Thread through what will be an heirloom.

White Wolf June 6, 2017 at 12:38 PM I am not familiar with this form, but I like what you have done! It is similar to the pantoum is it not? Bette Bavington June 6, 2017 at 1:41 PM It's not, but I use them both. Thank you.
