Villanelle:Trust No One Even Wife-Husband With Personal Secrets
Villanelle : Trust no one even wife/husband with personal secrets
Trust no one even wife/husband with personal secrets
Some day shame will stalk as flames at villain stake
A reticent tongue policy ensures a pact of no regrets
Today’s bosom pal is tomorrow’s cause for threats
Even pillow indiscretions can put one’s life at stake
Trust no one even wife/husband with personal secrets
Fly with the heron hoards and watch out for the egrets
Closeness of the species call not home the same lake
A reticent tongue policy ensures a pact of no regrets
Yet he who holds his lolling tongue well often regrets
Another’s running commentary on lives on the make
Trust no one even wife/husband with personal secrets
When the moment comes as it must in joined couplets
Consonance will with assonance dissonance make
A reticent tongue policy ensures a pact of no regrets
Even Allied Nations covet one another’s vile secrets
As Top Dog power struggles scramble what’s at stake
Trust no one even wife/husband with personal secrets
A reticent tongue policy ensures a pact of no regrets
