You Are Inspiration
A Villanelle For Those Who Inspire Us
I was speaking with a great friend and she was surprised when I said that just chatting with her gave me inspiration to create stories. I told her that we all inspire each other when we communicate and she did say that my poetry inspired her. She may reveal herself or she may wish to remain in the shadows but you may guess who she is. She is excited that I am going to write a poem for her and it will be a villanelle.
I included Trace Bundy's take on Pachelbel's Canon because it is both beautiful and inspirational.
Here are my words for her.

Going Down To The River
This is my third new entry into the Vocal "Get Comfortable" Challenge Today my Muse, her daughter and a friend have gone down to the river for a day of total relaxation, and I told her that βRiver Girlsβ would be a great poem to write, then I realised it was a bit close to βGreen River Girlsβ that I wrote for her and her daughter, so I thought maybe a butterfly cinquain would be a beautiful way to celebrate a relaxing day for mom and Autumn and Autumnβs friend. This is just a little comfort poetry inspired by my Muse.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." β Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
