Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it β and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I sense the hand of someone special inspiring this. Really unique topic to villanelle. Its actually rather pretty... if that makes any sense? π₯°
Wonderful way of promoting the challenge, Mike.
Very mystical x Love the first line prompt and you did it so well π€
You never cease to amaze me with your Villanelles! I loved that you took an aquatic and magical direction with the prompt. I loved it so much!
This is a beautiful poem. I absolutely love it! β€
Just magical.
I salute anyone who enters
Nice poem.
"To See Selkies In Seas, Soaked By The Brine That Frolick With Mermaids In Waters Green" I love this part! This poem is very pretty.
That was great. A lovely mystical, mythical place awaits.
