Tempest wears itself the irony
Upon my sleeve for all to show,
And in my hair full fast asleep.
The devil may care but I can't be
Bothered, nor will I ever know.
Tempest wears itself the irony
Twisting itself cruel around me,
Pulling me under in its tow
And in my hair full fast asleep.
The eye of the storm reverently
I'm oblivious to my every foe,
Tempest wears itself the irony.
A lover's trust in my creed
When the pain I give is slow,
And in my hair full fast asleep
Sustains us through the tyranny
Where all is lost in spite the flow.
Tempest wears itself the irony
And in my hair full fast asleep.

Author's Comments
I saw a poem by *batousaijin in the French poetic style of Villanelle,"The Gypsy Wandered In" [link] . I was fascinated and went to the links he provided to read about how to write the style, and a Villanelle contest [link] hosted by *Flutterings & =Mattiello . I found myself writing a first attempt at Villanelle and here it is. It's also my entry in Kathryn & Joseph's contest. I hope you enjoy, and my thanks to Mike *batousaijin for his encouragement!
8/23/08 update: I thought I'd mention that I incorporated "oblique rhyme" in this piece. I saw this [link] in `RetroZombie's author's comments to his own contest entry of his wonderful first villanelle, "A Ruthless Sea" [link] so I borrowed it to show you here as well.  9/14/08 update: The results of the competition are in at last; 75 entries took a while to go through, even with five judges! In spite of this being my very first attempt at the villanelle style, I wound up in the final Top 10! It just goes to show that it doesn't hurt to try and see what you can do. |
