There are so many prompts, but tonight I wanted to do a little experiment on Villanelle without any prompt at all. Keeping each line to three iambs, make an interesting impression I thought. I had to reuse some words in the rhyme, so I hope it’s not too repetitive.
she looks into herself
reflected up above
in joy one loves oneself
~~
like glistening wooden elf
with stars she falls in love
she looks into herself
~~
above there on her shelf
she can all others shove
in joy one loves oneself
~~
one can not help oneself
feel sorry for this dove
she looks into herself
~~
to her there’s just a self
the rest she’s disposed of
in joy one loves oneself
~~
it’s so lonely by yourself
when laughing at their love
she looks into herself
in joy one loves oneself?

Björn Rudbergs writings 
Its been a long long time I wrote a poetry form .. These days haiku or free verse rule my head 😀
But you temp me now. Will try soon. I always mess up iamb but I can play with repetition of lines form 🙂
This was beautiful ..
I mix.. and have tried quite a lot of iambic poetry. Once you get it into your head it just keep coming.
