Following is one of the villanelles in this collection:

Loving Others

Let’s grab a crystal cup and fill it full,
and drink a toast to all the friends we greet.
For loving others is the golden rule

that we all learned when we were back in school.
So let us at this table find a seat
and grab a crystal cup and fill it full

and use this celebration as a tool,
recalling that, and this I will repeat,
our loving others is the golden rule.

Now some might think that I have lost my cool,
or fallen victim of the summer heat,
but grab a crystal cup and fill it full,

I am not ready for the dunce’s stool.
From lessons learned we must not this delete,
that loving others is the golden rule.

To love is like the beauty of a pool,
in which we sit and bathe our neighbor’s feet.
Let’s grab a crystal cup and fill it full,
for loving others is the golden rule.

A copy of this chapbook, containing a brief introduction to the form, followed by 25 villanelles, cost $5.00 plus postage. Order it now.
