(A Villanelle) We'll be doing this format in this month's workshop, folks..  INSIDE OUT With passion born of words alone, A kindled bond’s aforesaid rare. When love from inside out has grown, Erotic nuance ne’er outshone. Clandestine musings freely share, With passion born of words alone. Allure endued as pheromone, In spirit lustful hearts declare When love from inside out has grown. With bated breath a bond has sown Intrinsic trust beyond compare With passion born of words alone. True intimacy's surely known. No greater love ~ No small affair When love from inside out has grown. An ecstasy as yet unknown Enjoins a once unseemly pair With passion born of words alone, When love from inside out has grown.  |

Teacher Nan~ Okay, I'll show up cause this is so pretty. But, I think Serenity should have to dust the erasers ! And ...... this is just beautiful ! No wonder they made YOU the teacher !  Psst ! ... make Prometheus come to class too !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I'm sorry I missed the class- yet this is so beautiful - I must reply and promise a villenelle attempt (fools rush in and all that) even though I know it will not compare. |

It's great Nan, but like English back in high school (hee hee), it's not something I want to work so hard to do, so rather than just sit in the back of the class and throw spit-balls (like English in high school), I'd better sit out in the hall and just peep in once in awhile. jwesley [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 11-05-2000).] |

Wonderful Nan, I love how you use language. And such imagery! "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |

Nancy - a most beautiful and touching piece you have done. You are a master, with a heart as big as the ocean. By the way, you must learn 'dood' language a little! BC |

With passion born of words alone, When love from inside out has grown. Beautiful words and a Villanelle well done! ~Wynter |

A very fine example Nan! Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
