My Villa

Please come to my villa Nelly
we can drink and dance
I promise I won’t tell

We can laugh and play
you can even bring your cat Lance
please come to my villa Nelly

We can climb all day
and do more, I pray
I promise I won’t tell

We can write and paint
maybe all day; whatever you say
please come to my villa Nelly

You can go to the market
and buy to your hearts content
I promise I won’t tell

I hope you read
the last letter I sent
please come to my villa Nelly
I promise I won’t tell.




Written in response to Poetry Thursday's weekly challenge (April 26th): Write a Villanelle. Yes I too had to Google villanelle to find out exactly what the poetic form was!
