John and Lisa's Blue Skies Blog – Soaring with God

Okay, here’s a little light-hearted Villanelle for your enjoyment:

Life of Words

Ah! Joy of written words.
You clamor for the page.
Indeed you must be heard.

I refuse to be absurd
As you fly from your cage.
Ah! Joy of written words.

You make me sing like a bird,
Present you on a stage.
Indeed you must be heard.

What else could I prefer?
(Just don’t call me a sage.)
Ah! Joy of written words.

Your place with me not third.
First, you are – to lighten rage.
Indeed you must be heard.

Thanks to you, I’m ungird –
Each moment I engage.
Ah! Joy of written words.
Indeed you must be heard.
