Villanelle, is that Elle MacPherson in French. It almost looks as good as she does. This is a clever form of poetry, even if it does sound like the latest model of Peugeot. Another great example as to why you always rate at the top or near the top of all poets on this site.

I can see by your fine villanelle that you have to put a lot of thought and effort into this form. It is probably out of my league at this time but, maybe someday.

Truth comes from God. If we're ever confused, all we need to do is ask God and He'll let us know what is true. We can always count on Him. Thank you for sharing this inspirational poem with us.

You certainly made real sense out of this villanelle! You told the truth of the forms's difficulties and you told the Truth about Truth in the body of your work.

Roy,

What a great poem this is. You are so talented. I would not even attempt something like this. I love how it flows to completion.

Where do you know all these styles from?

Well done my friend.

Cecilia

A well done villanelle. I do find the repeated lines confusing in this form but yours flows well. When I think of Truth - I think of Jesus and He is the perfect embodiment of Truth and Grace!

Yes, truth has the power to sift through lies. The truth will shine its light on darkness. Somehow, the truth always comes out, and if a person hides the truth, it probably come out in some form, sooner or later. Excellent repeating lines in this, and you did a great job with the villanelle form. judi

Truth is the better road to take, though sometimes it can be a bitter pill to swallow. But in the end, it is far better to face the truth than discover you were living lies. Very well said.
Smiles, Carol
