Wow how do you remember all that? I got lost reading your explanation. Jus to clarify, I'm not a poetry guy and I'm probably the last guy you want reviewing your work.

    :-) thank you for reading and the review!!
    Did you mention you liked spiritual poetry??
    here ya go...

    'Neath open eyes
    deep darkness lies,
    and chills my depths of soul.
    Entrenched within,
    heartache held in -
    shall faith my heart console?

    Completely lost,
    will broken, tossed -
    my heart begins to pray.
    Arms raised up high,
    asked questions why -
    concede, and beg your stay.

    Deep darkness shattered,
    dread shadows tattered -
    black fading, shades to grey.
    Grief-soothing peace,
    forlornness cease -
    clouds waning on this day.

    Revealing love
    from up above,
    true love that holds me tight.
    Now rides with me
    when I can't see
    my way through darkest night.

Tercet! I combed my wits trying to shake out that word yesterday. I recall doing a villanelle for the potlatch club long ago...memory says this looks right(but then tercet got away) and your repeating lines don't come across awkward...excellent post.

Hello Susan,
I could not compliment you more
for here lies beauty evermore
within your words so softly sung
ne'er spoken but by love's sweet tongue

A lovely Villanelle, true to the form and the heart
Beautiful repeat lines that echo each soft refrain
and wonderful matching art work
Beautiful
Robert

This is wonderful. Alas, I'm out of 6 star ratings, or you'd have one! Very well done Quatrain. Your choice of words is beautifully enhanced by the repetition. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem. All the best, Ann Marie

    Hello Ann Marie! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful review! Your lovely review means more to me then 6 stars..so thank you again :-)
    This piece is a Villanelle. I find it sooo suited for love poetry..partially because of the repitition.
    I truly hope you are having a lovely day! You certainly made me smile.:-))) thank YOU!

What's one to say, Dear Susan, when in the presence of such romantic splendor.
I'll begin by sharing how much I love the color and font selections, and that picture is absolute perfection in setting the mood, as is the whole of this amazingly heart-dancing piece ... I've never read a more enthralling Villanelle.
Form, rhymes, rhythm, flow, poetic voice, syntax, emotive creativity, moment, and your repeat refrains are sheer poetic ecstasy to a bard's mind, heart, and soul.

I bow in most graciously grateful thanks for this gift you've so kindly shared ... one to make me glow with pride in You.
My warmest hug of admiration to thee, Susan â?? Richard : )

Beautifully penned -- and I love the Villanelle form... I have written one before, and it is not an easy poem to write. But, you have done a great job... your verbiage is sweet and loving, although the form is formal.. there is a tenderness about it, and the language matches the hint of formality in some of the lines, and they complement each other well...
"...I could not love you any more,
sweet heaven gleams 'pon starlit eyes;
caress my heart forevermore..." Excellent poem

One of my favorite forms the villanelle, and you have written this beautifully. I loved every line, and your use of words such as...'pon, hosanna'...they give this a Victorian flavor. Quite profound.
Blessings...
