Thou Arts We Bind

As we taste the ink seasoned by those with a poetic mind We nod in good gesture to those who wrote Great minds think alike, yet none are two-of-a-kind Wonderful poets are so easy to find Here, there and everywhere, we note As we taste the ink seasoned by those with a poetic mind Shakespearian Guild- "THOU ART AS FAT AS BUTTER" -refined Words never so true, in quote Great minds think alike, yet none are two-of-a-kind Some poetry should never be left behind Twirling our thoughts like a feather- afloat As we taste the ink seasoned by those with a poetic mind Poetically speaking, "THOU ARTS WE BIND" "FAT AS BUTTER" these words we bloat Great minds think alike, yet none are two-of-a kind Remember these words that in BOLD I've outlined "THOU ART AS FAT AS BUTTER" -rewind As we taste the ink seasoned by those with a poetic mind Great minds think alike, yet none are two-of-a-kind Third-Person Villanelle Poetry Contest Sponsor: L Milton Hankins 11/7/2022

Charles your strong talent shines through in this poem and many others you have written. Any poem restricted by syllables, repetition, or number of lines must be more difficult to write, but this reads effortlessly and its message is easily absorbed. I enjoyed it very much
