Really enjoyed these poems! Ecclesiastes resonates a lot with me, so does motherhood. These were right up my alley. I sent your poem prayer from Part Time Poets to my sister in law and she cried because she felt so seen and encouraged. Even the non villanelle ones are powerful. But I totally see the benefits of constraints to creativity.

I would love to read something from you in the style of “ Do Not go Gentle into That Dark Night”, but about fear.

Awww Jess. Thank you so much for the encouragement and sharing my words!! I'm so glad those words resonated with your sister in law. I legit thought it was too insane when I sent it to the Part Time Poets Slack group. But those seem to be the ones that resonate 😆

My goodness, that is a tall order. Dylan Thomas. Wow. I do have a bunch of fear poems coming soon, so hopefully that jogs something in my mind. I have one called Psalm for my Nightmare, that I think was on The Snuggle a long time ago, which is about fear.
