A Need to Know (Villanelle)


I will admit that I am on a quest,
Need answers to a question most profound,
A need to know simmers within my chest.

What can be this question I want addressed;
That I'll be seeking like a redbone hound?
I will admit that I am on a quest.

Thought I had the answer and I was blessed,
But it hasn't sunk in, it came unbound,
A need to know simmers within my chest.

A character named Truman is possessed,
He and I surely are on common ground,
I will admit that I am on a quest.

In my new novel Truman is distressed,
His brother lies under burial mound?
A need to know simmers within my chest

My novel to find answers is the test,
Everywhere I look a dunce I am crowned.
I will admit that I am on a quest,
A need to know simmers within my chest.

Jerry, you continue to amaze me with your prolific writing. Another Novel eh? You plan to die at your key board, don't you my friend?
Keep those fires burning, the light becomes you. ~L
