"...I'm reminded of a recent conversation I had with a colleague who teaches our poetry classes; he said he writes his business correspondence in villanelles when he has to be especially pleading with the recipient." --@anonscone

The Push and Pull of It All.

(rhime rondeau)

the last stage of art
dispense with the angel
melancholia
the delicate yearning
of the short candle

shadows walk in amber
& tentative slag
progeny of Cthulhu
the last stage

a tightening coil
a rigorous ebbing
in games of closure
played with a paperclip
tipped high for the vap
the last stage

All Souls' Night.
