Some Say

~*Marge Tindal*~

Some say it takes a Sonnet, I say a Villanelle
to write the throngs of poetic songs
drenching me in heart-cast spell~

This ink suits the poet well
penning the thought of wishing naught
Some say it takes a Sonnet, I say a Villanelle~

Words in spew of an ego-in-swell
splash 'cross the page in poetic rage
drenching me in heart-cast spell~

Heart spread wide in open flail
dives into love with breath now held
Some say it takes a Sonnet, I say a Villanelle~

In weave of thought from poet's inkwell
word-bucket is filled to overflowing
drenching me in heart-cast spell~

Pour of thoughts from springing well
inking the very best of my best
Some say it takes a Sonnet, I say a Villanelle
drenching me in heart-cast spell~



~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

This is cool. I've never attempted a sonnet and I wasn't familiar with the villanelle format until reading here at Pips. After I move to Denver this summer and get re-established with a computer and some freetime, I'll try my hand at these forms. Or maybe sooner if winter comes back again and locks me indoors. Thanks for sharing this.

Marge, this is great. I am hopeless at particular forms. You shine at them!

Seymour~
Thanks love~

MidniteSun~
I wasn't aware of several of the structured-forms either ... but this workshop is either a torture chamber for discipline or a haven for hiding from my muses~  They'd never think to look for me on the merry-go-round-round-round~

I hope you join us after your move~

SmartChick~
Thanks sweetie ... now that Tax season is over .... where's yours ?

CatalinaMoon~
Thanks gal ... I don't know doodly-squat about 'em ... but I try to follow directions and it's good disciplie for me~

*It hasn't been graded yet ... but I think I'll take it to Open !
There's LOTS of people there who would have fun learning new things here~
*HUGS* to all~

Marge:  It's fun to try the disciplined forms of poetry once in awhile.  You have done a good job with this.  I say what it takes is a POET like you!

Dear Marge,
Great stuff here! I, on the other hand, seem to be temporarily un-inspired. One can only hope this is a temporary situation,( well... at least this one).

Just leave it to Marge to do the assignment - and do it well, mind you.. Then she goes and gets everybody in trouble by dragging them out to the playground before their work is done... She does it EVERY time...
