Once more this is inspired by conversations with my Muse.

I do find Villanelle's very easy to write and I have written a guide on how to do it, which many are finding useful and is included at the end of this one.

The music is the beautiful "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce

    Beautiful. I’m glad it’s easy for you to write, Mike, because it’s a delight for me to read.

  • This was soooo true! Loved your wonderful poem!

  • Nice!πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•πŸ’–

  • Beautiful sentiments! In some ways it reminds me of the Jewel song "Painters". "They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow" "'Cause they were painters and they were painting themselves A lovely world" The song is the reminiscence of a widow but somehow manages to be both uplifting and sad at the same time. So is love. Thanks for sharing!
