In Silent Weep A muse is dead and buried deep No ink will flow in verse this day A poet sits in silent weep The sun is lost in shadow's keep The sky once blue now hints of gray A muse is dead and buried deep Harsh winds of loss through windows seep Dishevelled heart fills with dismay A poet sits in silent weep The tiny frog has lost his leap The birds are hushed and fly away A muse is dead and buried deep With inspiration fast asleep Poetic verse has gone astray A poet sits in silent weep 'Tis life we sow but death we reap Sweet flowers wilt to dead bouquet A muse is dead and buried deep A poet sits in silent weep _________________ *Another repost...

This is certainly worth a repost - The way I see it, that silent muse managed to pen this perfectly formatted villanelle in flawless iambic tetrameter... and developed a theme pretty well in the process... All of our muses should be so silent, ya know??...  |

Gosh I love this.. not just for the words, but also because I want so much to write one of these, but just cant seem to organize my thoughts enough to stay within the guidelines of a Villanelle Great work Vicky |

Wow, I thought that was amazing. It is my first time actually seeing an example of a villanelle (I hope I spelled that correctly). I am enchanted. Very nice write. Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |

It's been a while since I read a poem that doesn't have any punctuation. Interesting style of structure, thought process, and rhyme scheme. Life is wasted on the living. |

I tip my "halo" to you! I am tucking this beautifully written villanelle safely away!  Not only was it perfect in form, but I felt every word of it! Linda |

Vicky~ I'd say your little muse is simply doing some R&R ... and the perfection of this Villanelle shows why she has needed it~  *Huglets* ~*Me ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

I have always envied your God given talent for verse and understanding it. You are like a musician, you know? Sounding off each beat . . . waiting for the rest of the band to catch up to your lead. (Muse is dead - Good Lord then mine has died a longgg time ago) |

Vick, your muse and mine sit together, weeping. Love this, you have the perfect way of explaining it. Sandra |
