Poetry takes time to evolve
Sonnets, haiku, villanelles, and rhyme
Each day a puzzle to solve.
Rhyming refining all will resolve
Frustrating at first, you’ll get it in time
Poetry takes time to evolve.
Phrasing will often seem to devolve
Watch out for that, add lyrics that climb
Each day a puzzle to solve.
If your words seem to dissolve
Picture a place with a different clime
Poetry takes time to evolve.
When you get stuck, write with resolve
Day after day it’s just practice, and time
Each day a puzzle to solve.
Try and fail often, fans will absolve
Put words on paper, it’s not a crime
Poetry takes time to evolve
Each day a puzzle to solve.

Great villanelle. You wrote great refrains, and fit so well with each stanza. Really enjoyed this!
It does take time to evolve. Thanks for sharing, Bill.
