THANK YOU Thank you for the lesson learned Of tersets strangely rhymed and versed A victory that was duly earned A villanelle is phrases churned In rhymes repeated and reversed Thank you for the lesson learned The first one got my ego burned It was a flop, but not the worst A victory that was duly earned Your deed will some day be returned My favors I will give you first Thank you for the lesson learned I think the pattern has been learned But needs to be some more rehearsed A victory that was duly earned You've been so patient and concerned With this wierd form we've all been cursed Thank you for the lesson learned A victory that was duly earned Elizabeth (just kidding about the ego part) |

Hoot, My, you are a night owl, aren't you? It's 3:20 in the morning! I had trouble sleeping, and was haunted by this stupid verse. Now I still owe Balladeer one, but better subject matter is in order Thanks, Hoot |

Kamla, I never start with a topic I always start with a phrase that's in my head and the poem takes me where it wants to go. How about: "What are your pleasures, what do you desire What would you have me do to light the fire" ha,ha,ha This didn't go at all where I thought it was going! How about simply, "What are your pleasures" Is that a "topic"? Liz |

LIZZY! I AM sorry - I never saw this! Twas when I was away...What are your pleasures...I think I will try that indeed - but you will probably have to wait more!! K'Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing' Sylvia Plath |
