Muted PinkA Poem by bluebearThis is the first time I tried writing a villanelle.Smoke the muted pink An adolescent experiences his first wet dream Where the Swan Maidens sink Written with the blackest ink She bathes in the lake lit by moonbeam Smoke the muted pink Extravaganza mixed into the iced drink A bachelor indulges himself to an ever grown self-esteem Where the Swan Maidens sink Waiting for a longing on the brink She glides her fingers across her dress seam Smoke the muted pink Prickly stubble with limited time to think A father guides his child through life’s regime Where the Swan Maidens sink Wailing, at long last, in sync She guides the elderly across the stream Smoke the muted pink Where the Swan Maidens sink
