Considering the price we have to pay
Why a poet would do it, who can know?
Struggles are many, but we win the day
~
Seeing as how there’s so damn much to say
Guard your ideals against the wind that blows
All I ever wanted…to show the way
~
In our daily strife, silence held at bay
Many the storms that toss us to and fro
Struggles are many, but we win the day
~
Observing life’s light until the last ray
Seeing is believing, let your light show
All I ever wanted…to show the way
~
At the end of the day, let your head lay
By your sweet love’s side, shining from the glow
Struggles are many, but we win the day
~
A journey well worth the taking, come what may
Beauty is found in the rhythm and the flow
Struggles are many, but we win the day
All I ever wanted…to show the way

A well crafted Villanelle and the
content is so very true.
Well worded and beautifully said.
This is really good and I always
enjoy a good Villanelle, thanks!
Thank you Kim and Karen. I think I will continue with this form and the pantoum, I love them both. Both forms require well-crafted lines. I feel like a tight-rope performer with no net at times. But what a feeling when you get the sweet part of the bat on the ball solidly, you hear that familiar sound and you know it's outta here. lol Yes I played baseball and city league softball.
