Dreams And Regrets
A Villanelle Challenge
He asked, do you want to see the bodies?
Shadows have secrets that they don’t want known
Evil eyes decide just what the gods see
**
Private fields hidden, filled with regret and poppies
Planting seeds that should have never be sewn
He asked, do you want to see the bodies?
**
Storms brew inside forming emotional tsunamis
Stirring bitter winds, building up the storm
Evil eyes decide just what the gods see
**
You better decide now, who it is, you want to be
Fear can create problems, then doubters are born
He asked, do you want to see the bodies?
**
A teacher and his student, politely disagree
Helping through the arguments, they soar
Evil eyes decide just what the gods see
**
Somethings in this world can be confusing
Deep loss can cause the strongest man to mourn
He asked, do you want to see the bodies?
Evil eyes decide just what the gods see

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

What a thriller of a poem. I think this would also make a good story for the coming Halloween season.
Great villanelle, Kelli. Entry for the challenge?
