I am the friendliest of mammals in the sea.
With a huge toothy grin,
My smiles are given free.
Yet, my dorsal fin could strike fear like a stinging bee.
Just don’t confuse me with a deadly Shark's fin.
I am the friendliest of mammals in the sea.
A sleek body that cuts to a tee,
Through water like a harmoniously swig of zesty gin.
My smiles are given free.
My skin is as smooth, not like a rough knee,
More like a martini glass, filled with sweet vermouth, with a spin.
I am the friendliest of mammals in the sea.
My elegance comes from my grace, like afternoon tea.
Allow freedom for me to play, for all nature wins.
My smiles are given free.
Children love me for my personality which is so carefree.
Watch me in the deep blue sea with a peaceful grin.
I am the friendliest of mammals in the sea.
My smiles are given free.

Eternal Quest for Love
In the realm of love, most people aim to find someone they agree with. Everyone hopes to meet the right person at the right time, but what does “right” mean? Love can be tricky for anyone. No matter how smart you are, you can forget past hurts because of love. I forgot how painful it was to smile when I knew it would make me cry.

Spellbound (1945)
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.

Lovely villanelle 💙
Aww sah-WEET! Gotta love dolphins! Perfect Villanelle subjects 😁
Nice jobs
Really liked this one. Just realized I hadn’t subscribed to you.
Nicely written! I love my dolphys!
They truly are beautiful creatures. Nicely done.
My first villanelle was a mess. I keep to a set number of syllables on every line. The format of this is perfect and great fun, and maybe even a Top Story.
I am in two minds about this. First and foremost, it's a beautiful and fun little poem. I am not a fan of dolphins though. But...yeah, loved the poem, less the subject matter. :)
I wish I can hug a dolphin one day 🥰🥰🥰 Loved your Villanelle!
Fabulous!!! Loved it!!!💕❤️❤️
