Villa(i)n Elle

lysistrata

Truthful lies

Said again

Wrong words

Heard before.

 

Cursed by Fate

Weary lives

Sold in discount

Truthful lies.

 

Love delayed

Stayed short

Vows betrayed

Heard before .

 

Utterly desolated

Human lives

Illuminated by

Truthful lies.

 

Said Again

Heard Before

Truthful Lies....

  • Comment from author about the poem: Started with the intention to write a Villanelle,but there is great joy when a writer is breaking the rules/ patterns and composing something that in her own view could be new & equal interesting... Writers like James Joyce,TS.Eliot, V.Nabokov,J. Barnes and many more have done it before...

    Thanks LYSI ~ Poetic rules of form and function are always meant to be broken because all true poets are FREE SPIRITS ! Love the visual MISTER POGGY rather than Miss Piggy. I will analyse the form later ~ love all modes which have repetition ! We all use "truthful lies" when we are in a corner (even me !) Thanks for caring ~ Love as always BRIAN If you have tome please check my latest poem HAPPINESS ~ Thanks B
