Another day to craft a vivid Villanelle.
One that hopefully will take social media by flight.
A daily pursuit, leaving readers compelled.
*****
Will my audience be left in awe or in literacy hell?
My inky pen is not always guided by a white knight.
Another day to craft a vivid Villanelle.
*****
Claps, hearts, reads, comments, is the tell.
Did it land for my fellow friends who write?
A daily pursuit, leaving readers compelled.
*****
My poetic brain has visions of tumbleweeds, bidding farewell.
At a barren western ghost town, with no one in site.
Another day to craft a vivid Villanelle.
****
No shaped words of fears, blood-soaked hearts from mademoiselle.
Alas, no poignant death scene, with whispers to continue to fight.
A daily pursuit, leaving readers compelled.
****
My only desire is to pen words, spin stories and do it very well.
In the process of not sabotaging myself despite.
Another day to craft a vivid Villanelle.
A daily pursuit, leaving readers compelled.

I don't think you've ever sabotaged yourself. This Villanelle was so brilliantly executed. I loved it!
This is perfect. These really are hard, aren't they?
Well done.
Wow, quite a word you are. I really enjoyed this.
