Postpartum Nightmares

Beautiful, Rebecca! I love the way the pacing juxtaposes with the weight of the motions. There’s a bounce I can’t get enough of.

[Rebecca Marie]

Aww thanks so much!!

[Ashley C. Shannon]

❤️❤️❤️ Wow! That first one really hit me. I love the image of "thick toffee." I agree with the other comments. Beautiful, beautiful! You've really had fun with this form!

[Rebecca Marie]

Wow. Thank you so much for your kind words Ashley!! 💛💛💛

[Margaret Ann Silver]

Oh my goodness. First of all, three villanelles in a row. And they flow so beautifully. Form fascinates me but sometimes it can sound robotic; not yours at all. They are all so beautiful (and the feelings in them so familiar). The opening stanza of the first villanelle made me catch my breath.

Also, thank you so much for the mention 💛.

[Rebecca Marie]

This means so much coming from you!!! Thank you!! 🥹

[Joy Nicholas]

So good! Love how you’re experimenting with this form, and the words really resonated!

[Rebecca Marie]

Thanks Joy! 💛💛

[Ashley L Case]

SO good, Bec. I’m in love with the rhythm of these!

[Rebecca Marie]

Thanks!! 💛

[Erin Mount]

These are AMAZING. I especially love the first one. Well done, friend.

[Rebecca Marie]

Thank you so much Erin!! Glad to hear, as it was one of those issues that I woke up worrying about in the middle of the night that it was too weird, too much 😆🙈

Pheeeew Bec, wow, these are so amazing and so honest and raw. I'm going to have to reread to really soak it in! And thanks for the shout-out to my villanelle. You wrote THREE!!! 😮

[Rebecca Marie]

Awww Kym! Thanks so much! Thanks for encouraging me to do it 💛

[Erin Mount]

I loved yours!

Thank you! 💛
