Comment from nancy_e_davis
You did a fantastic job on this villanelle. It's not a form that interests me at all. Of course I didn't like the triolet at first, but use it sometimes to get my writting back on track.
Some days the world is... all too much to bear!
That's a good line for today's world, especially for children. Well done my friend. Nancy

Comment from Angela VA
This looks like a difficult poem to write, as far as the rhyme-and-refrain pattern! You did a nice job with it. I love the result. The topic is wonderful and well executed.

Hi Tony. Such a perfect pairing of picture and poem! What a cute child! Your Villanelle poem tells it like it is. Throughout our lives, we seek the love and approval of our parents, and especially during teenage-angst years when peers show little compassion.
"I can be brave. I know I can. So there!" ... I love the image that comes to mind with this line. So very well written and presented, and a pleasure to read! ~~ Connie

Comment from damommy
Oh, bless her heart. That sad little face.
The poem is excellent. Not much more I can say about it. I love your refrain, and 'a modern banshee wails' is a great description.
Every parent should read this. I sums up parenting as it should be done. 8-)

I won't pretend to understand the various forms of poetry outside of normal abab LOL, but this darling and reads well. I found nothing to criticize. It speaks well from an infants POV.

Comment from Lucian Carter
They Might Be Giants sang "Don't hate the villain; hate the villanelle," but there is no reason to hate this one. Rich deep imagery, rhymes that aren't forced. The poem speaks of love, without specifying the type, or from whom. The picture changes the tone to parental love, which ring true throughout. A nice little poem.

Many thanks, Lucian. I value your kind words and support. I liked your quote about the Villanelle - it's a curse of a form to work with! I don't attempt them very often! Best wishes, Tony

Hello Tony;
-your writing of this poem in the Villanelle style of poetry is followed in written with
in an extremely perfected way that covers all the mechanisms that are needed to write this type of poetry.
-The subject the conceptual theme of one loving another unconditionally is expressed in this poem by using some metaphors but mostly imagery to define, definitively, I one is always there to love another, "a simple hold that shows me that you care, a kiss to bring me comfort when I cry. Some days the world is all too much to bear." In these lines you show human camaraderie and affection between what one could surmise as a mother and a child or a parent and a child.
-The rhyming and rhythmic meter is spot on, or righteously written and adds to the fluidity of the enjambment which is uninterrupted throughout the writing.
-Thank you for sharing this, Tony, and take care and have a good one my dearest friend.
Alex

This is a lovely, easy to read poem with a very nice message. I enjoyed the posting and especially liked the key line, "I'll need your love again, to calm my fear.
Well done indeed.
