Introduction

I thought I would write a villanelle based on thoughts about mythical and lost lands and places. There are so many, so these are just a few, and obviously the villanelle form will repeat lines but I want it to feel like an adventure in words.

The music is "Naturesway (Earthwatching)" by Thousand Yard Stare from their album "Mappamundi"
