A Villanelle
My first try at writing a villanelle
This is my first attempt at a villanelle and it isn't technically perfect, but I am happy with it.
In fact, it is not a villanelle at all, but I think it is a worthy poem and hope you do too.
I thought Villanelle sounded familiar. It is the name of the comic book assassin played by the wonderful Jodie Marie Comer in “Killing Eve”. You can read a little more about her here:
The lead music is the unexpectedly beautiful "Sofa #1" by Frank Zappa perfect to read this by.
Villanelle
From the land of dreams we now leave the night
Fingers touching , holding, we meet the day
Our next steps will take us into the light
.
Our day is starting ,a breakfast delight
Together we know we are on our way
The sun is risen , no cloud is in sight
.
Our day is here, we know this is so right
We know the right words, the ones we should say
Seeing the blue sky, our mood now takes flight
.
Each day we are closer, our hearts alight
Working together with you it’s like play
Tomorrow will be better , more delight
.
We are ever improving, words we write
Easy to Keep mundane boredom at bay
Our minds as one find new ways to excite
.
And we end the day, await the night
Our thoughts delight in whatever we may
Together forever living delight
A New Day coming is within our sight

I am a little lazy using the standard Sonnet format once more when I have many forms to pursue, but there is time for this. I have used one of my favourite soul records of all time Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You?" because that is how I feel when someone encourages and supports me in the things I love to do, and it is wonderful to be together on a quest , adventure or a project.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
