I love these types of poetry with repetitive lines. They are a challenge, and can drive you nuts if your brain doesn't cooperate. Yours obviously didn't not go into a rebellious state.

Very well done. Enjoyed reading one of these once again.

wow, im impressed by your knowledge of formal poetry- I myself, am spoiled and though I've learned the formalities,I don't follow them- this is really wonderful- thank you so much for sharing! I'll be posting something new soon, I've been crazy busy- I am writing a little thing about my hearing loss that I'll probably post soon-
Have a beautiful weekend!

    Thanks for the review sorry bout your hearing loss. Is it real bad?
reply by Jenn Starr on 11-Sep-2010
    Yea, It's bad- I'm pretty much deaf- the really lane thing is I was a professional musician and I'm a single mom! But I've learned to adapt amazingly well! Is crazy how well we can adapt to things! I just couldn't go the other way which was letting it defeat me so... I dealt with it- and didn't shy away from continuing my life- it's tough, very very tough- but I'm dealing ;) the Internet is a wonderful relief because it enables me to have conversation with people, something I can't really do much of anymore otherwise- it's been wonderful- ;)- hopefully I'll post that short soon and it'll have all the info- pretty weird and scary the story of how I lost it- take care

    ;) that's cool ;) you'll probably jump up past me though- I haven't posted anything new so I'm no progressing in the ranks- I'm trying to save up enough member dollars and member cent pumps to get my work in the top 10 so I can get a bigger response- it's taking me awhile though

    I'm writing a story that I hope to add to my book so I should slow down some.

A very well crafted villanelle. I loved the word choices, the cadence and rhythm of the piece. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. Ray aka Krylon

This is a lovely poem that speaks of true love. The line about not making your loved one jealous or sending them into a rage speaks of a real love. It reads very smoothly. good job.

I haven't been with FanStory that long and until recently would not have had a clue what a villanelle poem was. Thanks to your extremely useful author's notes I was able to appreciate your beautifully composed poem. Thanks for a lesson in the art of writing. Ron

Hullo Keimosobie ...

I have read this with interest in your chosen format and I like the thought you have developed about sending forth your expression of love which originated on a page of writing.
There are two changes to recommend ...

* You use the word - shove. As I see it, that seems so out of place in poetic writing and suggest you may use 'push.'
* You have - I am giving it for free .... oh dear!
This is a terrible and most ungrammatical expression which is widely used these days. Things can be given free of charge or for nothing or they can simply be free but never 'for free'
In this case, you could have - I am giving it to you free.
Love from .... Nanette Mary.

A gift that was opened on this perfect stage."

A nicely written Villanelle poem, you can always find out how these poems sound best when reading them out loud, a villanelle poem should sound almost musical to the ear as your poem does, a fine write well thought-out with a wonderful flow.
It's not my type of poetry but I do understand it's structure to which you have executed very well.
Sending you my love, very poetic and captivating.
Well done and all the best to you...Rudy

Lovely poem. The love floats off the page and reaches the loved one. A very interesting thought, and it makes me wonder if it works, sort of like feeling it when someone is thinking of you.

Thanks for the good read.

Regards, anabelle
