The beginning of the end. [Villanelle]

by Teria   Apr 30, 2007


Blotted pink wax upon a glassy surface.
Solid memories are held within,
the ones that are mostly missed.

Slowly twirling around as a sweet kiss.
Softly touching only the tips as
blotted pink wax upon a glassy surface.

Sheltered by ground upon a rotted fist,
broken and shattered by a drop. The pieces
are the ones that are mostly missed.

A spill upon the floor creating fizz;
the beginning of the end..
blotted pink wax upon a glassy surface.

Metal is bent, losing the heavenly bliss.
The perfect shapes before are
the ones that are mostly missed.

The lava lamp reflectiveness
became a memory of an everyday night light.
The ones that are mostly missed
are the blotted pink wax upon a glassy surface.

    I'm not sure the format of this kind of poem, but I'm, sure you did an excellent job in following the structure. This was a really good poem, there wasn't any one line or verse I really liked. It was a good poem though.

    Wow... this poem is wonderful... definitly the best i have read so far .. you do good with a given structure

    the flow is wonderful

    i also think it clever how you say "blotted pink wax upon a glassy surface. " repeatedly and finally in the end explain it as the lava lamp. its beautiful how you took such a simple object and made a poem that was filled with emotion and such longing for memories. wonerful job .. really :D

    Um yah I didn't quit get what you were trying to get a cross other then being about memories being missed. I really don't know what you could do to make it easier to understand. It still had a great flow to it though:) I gave it a 5 out of 5.

    This poem didn't really make sense to me.
    Maybe you should work on that.
    Or maybe you can explain so I can give you a better comment. :]
