Hi, Tony, excellent villanelle, my friend. There aren't enough of these written here. Your refrains flow seamlessly into the poem. Excellent work~Debbie

Oh, my, my, my. This poem also grabs my heart. This something that I have said in different ways many times before. Some times, many time the world just becomes to much to bare and we all need this reassurance from someone who really loves us, be it a hug, a hold, a smile, a needed conversation. Just give some kind of care and attention to my need to comfort my aching soul.

Beautiful Fawcus, just splendidly amazing.

Lovely poem! Captures the tender heart of a child in a way that a child could never put into words, and yet feels so deeply.

As always, I love reading your poetry.

Blessings, Analie

G'day Tony.

Beautiful work, mate in this incredibly tough form. The picture is priceless and a perfect compliment to the piece.

Life can be tough at that age but they have a way of overcoming and getting back on the horse.

Great job, cobber.

Cheers Fez

Good poem with a very true story about fear. Great picture to make it all complete. Good rhyming and word flow as you tell of how a little one can feel as they need the love and comfort of an adult.

I recognized the form, though I could have been wrong. Nicely rotated with the repeating lines that bring purpose and charm to the write. Sometimes, if not incorporated properly, can be the glaze odf disaster for any form. This was a little more special because of the personal touch.
Well done, Tony.
My best wishes.
RG

This work has reached the exceptional level

-Thanks for sharing the photo, Tony.
-Format is good with good rhyme and
repeated lines.
-I really like the theme and message of
the poem:
"...the world is all too much to bear"
-Then, it is when we need love and
someone who cares enough
to share a simple gesture to calm us.
-An excellent conclusion that is all too true;
we never get too old for that tender touch,
hug, or caring words.

    Very many thanks for reading this one, despite the fact that when I made my last edit, I forgot to change the font back to white! I must be getting senile! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it's true - we all need a little tender loving care at times! LOL Thank you very much for the six-star award. Much appreciated. Best wishes, Tony

    It's funny, but I read it yesterday, but when I reviewed today, I thought the brightness level was low on my computer! I could see enough to get the lines, though. Things like this happen to those of us in a similar age bracket:) TLC goes a long way for anyone. You are very welcome and deserving of the rating and review, Tony, but it's hard to see a little one a bit sad.
