You wrote a lovely Villanelle, June. The theme, art, and presentation were lovely and such a good entry for the Potlatch prompt. The use of color and delightful insects makes this fun to read. Great job!.

Oh, didn't (don't!) we all! :) Such a lovely offering, June, that cannot help but lift the spirits and return the mind to simpler, more imaginary fun instead of being lost in stress! ;) Thanx for the 'time out' for my psyche!! ;): ) Yvette :)

Your villanelle is very well-written and appealing. You have made excellent use of specific details to describe the whimsical dreams of a child. I remember wishing I could fly; I actually flew--in my dreams!

June, This is a very well written and very cute poem about If I Had Wings. You used very cute descriptive words and very lovely imagery from the art work you chose. I love it when I see a dragon fly flit by when I am sitting outside. They are very neat to watch. Great job on this Villianelle poem you penne for the potlatch Poetry. love and blessings, Teri

Nicely penned Villanelle for the flying topic and your repeated lines work in well. Lovely descriptions as you take us through this dragonfly's day. Nice one,
cheers,

A very well-written Villanelle about flying. A dragonfly and a butterfly are great options they seem not dangerous to humans and they will not chase them down for a kill.

If you had wings, you had been either bright red butterfly or dragonfly and you had flown all day long and return back dancing to catch our eye; well said, well done. Liked and enjoyed the read. Write to Inspire, Change.

If you want to be an insect I wouldn't recommend spying on Bullfrogs at all or you might end up on his darting tongue and supply him with a meal. LOL I for one would like to be an Eagle and I have written a couple of poems about that. Only a man can take an Eagle down. BUT! They are protected in the US. LOL Good Job, June. Nancy:)

I enjoyed reading your villanelle :) It is not an easy poetry form to work with, but yours is filled with fun and adventure. I would prefer to be a butterfly. Dragonflies seem scary to me. I wouldn't want to frighten people off.
