A Villanelle47 total reviews
Comment from Allieas
Beautiful poem with excellent imagery. I really enjoyed reading this. It sounds like it would make a good song.
I especially enjoyed this:
A reservoir of riches there we mold
Inside a tapestry spread over time;
A magic gift with music to behold.

I swore I already reviewed this one. But will review again.
It's lovely and well worded. I've not worked within this format, but it seems to be on point and describes well the poetry of writing (and reading!) a poem. Well done.

I prefer old-style poetry to most of the modern poems I read today. They seem to have so much more; I guess you could say, personality. Your poem is skillfully executed. Best of luck in the contest.

Hello Tom,
I had to smile when I saw your hyphenated po-em.
So this is what the English language has evolved into.
But then the committee supposedly uses five or six sources,
which permit almost anything.
I enjoyed the villanelle with exact rhymes other then the one slant rhyme line/sublime. The meter is also very good.
Poetry the way it once was, art, rather than prose in the form of a poem.Well done.
Best wishes.
Robert

-A good title, poem, and presentation, e.e.
-A well written villanelle with a good topic.
-I like the image "a po-em old."
-The repeating lines are very good.
-You have many effective images that
describe writing and poets, like
"these songbird troubadours."
-I also like the tribute to the poets of old."
-Well done.

I love the way this poem flowed. The words wrapped around each other in a way that made it easy to read. The words painted a picture in my mind to go with the poem as I read. Great job.

Your poem is quite beautiful. It has a great flow to it, making it easy to read. My only issues with your poem was that the font seemed to be very small, and I found it difficult to read the small yellow letters on the black background. I feel that the colors would be okay if the font were larger.

easy:
I have not been able to write a villanelle that doesn't sound contrived. I think I am going to just stick with the little I know. Good luck in the contest. Jan
