Neha Padhi Poet Villanelle

Rome and Roman

This feeling is common
I am frequently told
If in Rome, I should be a Roman.

These feelings for you are uncommon
Although I try to be bold
For I'm told these feelings are common.

Whenever in my heart, you I summon
My heart with your smile you do hold
I realize, in Rome, I should be a Roman.

Although its already autumn
I see I'm not at all cold.
I hear this feeling is common.

The days have been so solemn
Yet they feel so old
Still, when in Rome, I should be a Roman.

Anyway I keep trying on
Helplessly my feelings only manifold.
This feeling is common
'Cuz if in Rome, I should be a Roman.
