Today’s
poem is, yes, another villanelle; an earlier version appeared in an anthology, Soulful Emotions, Poetry Now [Forward
Press] 2003 and subsequently in my collection.
Looking out and
not being a part of things can make a day pass very slowly.
Looks like it’s
decision time…
This poem is a villanelle.
This poem is a villanelle.
TURNING POINT or TIME TO MOVE INTO THE FAST LANE
Time, it goes slow,
ticking like clock faces
at a lonely window
Seasons come and
go;
world, its shadow
chases;
time, it goes slow
Tears may well flow
for a love the mind places
at a lonely window
Oh, dare not follow
where the pulse
races ... ?
Time, it goes slow
Heart gouged hollow
as the beast, Fear, surfaces
at a lonely window
Come, adrenaline. flow,
put life through
its paces!
Time, it goes slow
at a lonely window
at a lonely window
