Sailing On A Silent Sea
A Thoughtpiece In A Villanelle
Introduction
I saw the phrase "Silent Sea" in the name of a Netflix film and thought that could be the basis of a peaceful poem
The music is "La Mer" by Claude Debussy.

This was so beautiful Mike. Loved it!
The rhythm of the villanelle really mimics the lapping of water against a boat. Itβs a very peaceful poem, just as you had intended. Nicely done.
