Villanelle – ” coddle without trouble ” – every day Poetry 254


Regress not if you think there is someone that you need to coddle

For the snow and the wind will bring you around like a blizzard

You won’t be troubled with it if you drink a little more from the bottle

 

Though in your stately wisdom you may be found to waddle

This shall not take you away from what creativity you have as the wizzard

There may be hopes for you yet, for the thoughts you do fondle

 

If the time in the kitchen strokes your mind like the throttle

cook you must so that the brains cook like the gizzard

It will, we know, cause you to goggle

 

This is fine in the lines of the most interesting doodle

In kitchen ware, if life is fair = you do all of it in a leotard

but not to think that your imagination is as soft as a noodle

 

 

 

we must put all of it back as in the middle of the puddle  

break light with your senses in thought we know you not to be this retard

Will we keep doing this until we fumble 

  

Let us think about it in exhaustion for a cudle

We are spinning our wheeles like in the middle of a blizzard  

Regress not if you think there is someone that you need to coddle

You won’t be troubled with it if you drink a little more from the bottle

 

Our exercise today was to write a villanelle – 20 minute timed writing, so this is the first time i have ever done this…

sitting here with the Veterans: Heather – back from 2015, Wes, myself, Adam, Patrick, Rick, Lucy, Leilani – the writing coach, and the Wellness Works Executive Director was here today Lisa Raggio
