Great poem, love the repetition throughout and the consistent rhyming scheme. Its feels enigmatic in nature while also paying reverence to Po-ems old. Thanks for the post!

I have always struggled with the Villanelle. You have done a really good job with this one, Everett. The repeated lines are very well chosen.

Excellent Villanelle about the qualities of well written poetry. Good entry for the Poem of the Month contest. I like the triolet form, it has a pleasant rhyme and meter melody and flow.

You have a gift for writing lyrical and melodic verse, and I always enjoy reading what you post. This is an excellent example of what you are describing... a poem with verses wrapped in gold. Metronomic meter and melodic phrasing is evident throughout the poem and adds to its charm. I enjoyed this very much.

I always enjoy your posts. I especially appreciate it when you bring forward poems from the past (like this one, from 2018)--poetry, after all, is timeless...
I like your "po-em" offering. So many folks pronounce it "POME" and this is a gentle reminder to read the word as two syllables, as it ought to be!
You seem to have many more than 26 reviews. Should this not then be an "All-Time Best?"
(It is in my book)

There is a solid reason why some of the poets of old, produced work considered to be solid gold. They were called masters because we recognize, most of what we have learned to revere, came from the lessons they taught us, their examples have bought us a chance at a solid career of gold so that we the new poets may one day become poets of old.

Superb, EE, I loved every line. The Villanelle is a soft and lovely form of poetry, and you've captured it perfectly. The words are like marshmallow, they melt on the tongue as we read them. Poetry does have magic in them when written as well as you have written yours. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xx

Hi there! I really enjoyed your poem! I also love your choice of colors, incorporating the gold color to go with your words. Great idea! Repeating the first lines at the end was a great idea too, awesome finish! Thank you for sharing!!!!

Hi Gina. This is an established form of poetics. It demands this structure; so I simply followed the structure. You might want to google the villanelle and try one yourself. Thanks. easy
