Oooh this is awesome!! I can so picture this as a prophecy in a fantasy book!!
Oooo, this was so ominous and dark! Loved your Villanelle!
The use of the word parallel in a repeated line was quite a masterful stroke! Made for quite a dΓ©jΓ vu effect Nicely done, Mike!
Loved the theme of your villanelle! Very well done! :)
This is quite visual in a way that I cannot quite describe. Good work.
