Robyn Campbell Poet Villanelle

Year Sixteen

The year fifteen has gone away
It’s memories scattered still
The year sixteen has come to stay

I must remember each new day
And each life and new thrill
The year fifteen has gone away

A life is worth all they say
friendship blends love and skill
The year sixteen has come to stay

I’ll work  some and then I’ll play
life of love; mine to fill
The year fifteen has gone away

I want to live for each new day
spread my love and goodwill
The year sixteen has come to stay


I cheer a brand new year today
hopeful heart you will fulfill
The year fifteen has gone away
The year sixteen has come to stay

Andrea Dietrich January 6, 2016 at 7:24 PM what a wonderful idea for a villanelle. Discussing the two years, one come and one gone. VERY nicely done! Robyn Campbell January 6, 2016 at 8:16 PM Andrea, thank you, thank you. That makes me smile. Hug hug hug.

Skat A January 2, 2016 at 7:19 PM I left a reply on the bottom Robyn Campbell January 2, 2016 at 7:53 PM YaY. XOXO

Skat A January 2, 2016 at 6:34 PM I'm looking out for it already...ha Skat A January 2, 2016 at 7:19 PM No, do not take the word out O:-) Robyn Campbell January 2, 2016 at 6:51 PM I'm almost finished with it. :-) P.S. you want me to take the word SKAT out?

Skat A January 2, 2016 at 12:24 PM Robyn, a wonderful write. I see a more promising year ahead. However, I was not done closing 15. Anyways, enjoy your way... work and fun sound nice. Give all you can this year. Like 15 ...16 will leave us too... lol...then hello to year 17. My favorite number. :) a nice form. Cheers to the brand new year. Skat Robyn Campbell January 2, 2016 at 12:44 PM Haha, 15 is my favorite number. I guess that's partly a reason for me not wanting to say goodbye. Although, my son had a lot of health issues in 2015. I'm glad to see it leave for that reason. You're right. Each year has to leave. Sooner or later. :-) Thanks for reading.
