Did a bit of studying on various types of poetry, this was my attempt on writing a Villanelle. The research I did on it wasn’t much, but I kinda liked the message I managed to put througH. This piece was inspired by a pretty heated and abusive argument going on in one of the Facebook Kenyan groups on gays and lesbians. It just felt appropriate to write it. View table of contents...

This translates to me as a case of People Whoi Live in Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones.
I like the way you gave it a more modern twist, but have to admit that I haven't the first clue what Villanelle is.
That's what becomes of being a poetry Philistine......
Nice work.

this just makes me curious as hell as to what was being said back and forth on facebook...
But your response is peppy and spunky. Too many times believers are forced to be meek and mild and this says quite clearly - you aint him!
I liked this!

This is not a villanelle, just because it is a 19-line poem. There are no tercets and no quatrain. If you write a 14 line poem, will that be a sonnet.

Hiya DEB, i think u did achieve the desired aim of getting the poem written PERFECTLY and very very honestly...
To be honest, i really loved it....for me as a person this is nothing but PERFECT AND FLAWLESS....
