A Villanelle. A french form of poetry that I feel compelled to try. A first time dive.
The first line I choose to begin this poem is from the Astrological Sabian Symbol for this New Moon.
This poem, which I am about to ‘makeup’ in this moment, is from the prompt given on the NaPoWriMo.net page.
I read a beautiful poem there by Claire Wahmanholm, The Meadow, The River, that inspired this moment of flow.
Should I save her from drowning?
In the wildness of herself?
In the fresh calm of herself?
And each breath took in the rapids.
day 14… prompt from NaPoWriMo… a ‘san san’ . a san san is a 7 line poem that repeats 3 different images and has a rhyme pattern that goes like this. a,b,c,b,d,c,d. New to me. and here it goes.
You are here in your soft presence.
