I'll never be not amazed at your Villanelles! So beautiful!
Wonderful, Mike ๐๐
๐๐ This poem is beautiful! The repetition of "Swimming with you in the Green River" throughout the villanelle creates a lovely rhythm and emphasizes the connection between the speaker and their friend Cherri and her daughter Autumn. The use of imagery, such as the cherry trees and the cool flow of the water, paints a vivid picture of a serene and peaceful moment shared between friends. The emojis of waves, an island, water droplets, and a green heart all perfectly capture the essence of the poem. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece! ๐๐๏ธ๐ง๐๐ง๐๏ธ๐
