Villanelle

The villanelle is a poetry form based on repetition.


Aquarium


I like watching
the fish in the aquarium
watching them glide by


bright colors silent
sovereign in my eye
I like watching


the sparkle flashing by
light through water, shadows playing
watching them glide by


the best is walking underneath
like I am one of them
I like watching


heavy motion, effortless
fly by the plexiglas, leaving me behind
watching them glide by


I love the life, the beauty there
the untouched and serene
I like watching
watching them glide by.
