TRUE LOVE ~ A Villanelle

 

 

TRUE LOVE ~ is an experience so rare

When it does happen ~ content we should be 

All would cherish ~ but few in their lives share !

 

It\'s fashioned in our hearts ~ so please prepare

TRUE LOVE can strike ~ like lightning on a tree

TRUE LOVE ~ is an experience so rare !

 

 

Like finding GOLD ~ that no one knew was there

Inside cellar of Ancient Monastery 

All would cherish ~ but few in their life share ! 

 

We seek for love and grasp it it\'s there

I cry when TRUE LOVE comes and goes from me 

TRUE LOVE is an experience so rare !

 

BUT ~ When you have it you just know it\'s there

I every aspect of your LIFE ~ it\'s plain to see

All would cherish but few in their lives share !

 

Don\'t keep it secret ~ all your TRUE LOVE share

Shout it from the rooftops ~ SHE (HE) LOVE ME !

TRUE LOVE  is an experience so rare

All would cherish but few in their lives share !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ love BRIAN

 

A good poem for recitation should have Rhyme ~ Rhythm

Repetition !  A VILLANELLE has all three. It is based on a

rhyming doublet Lines 1 & 3 revealed in lines 18 & 19.

Lines 1 6 12 18 are repeats as are lines 3 9 15 19. Google

VILLANELLE WIKI to learn more about this poetic form.

There are only two rhymes so you have to choose carefully

mine follow from (a) \"rare\"  and (b)  \"b\"  The rhyming pattern

is:  A1 b A2  a b A1  a b A2  a b A1  a b A2  a b A1 A2   capitals

denote a repeated line.  The repetition reinforces the TITLE.

Why not try a VILLANELLE for yourself ?  Yours BRIAN XOX
