Who cares Anymore?
My deepest Fear World Without A Care
Who cares what’s happening around the world?
What happen to compassion?
Where is compassion in the world?
Where is the Love?
Will we find Compassion
Cry the Dove
I say make way
Let reign passion
Flood the gate with milky way
Who knew what the Christmas Day hold
The birth of Jesus’ Passion
To behold
Santa don’t lost your hope
Elf keep on working for free
Santa you are children’s hope
Reindeer
Santa want a ride for free
Never stop being a Dear

Dear Mariann ~ Pray for 'World Peace' ~ Jay, Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Village Community -
This poem seems to be an emotional cry for compassion and love in the world, using the form of a Villanelle, which it accomplishes well. The repeated lines "Where is compassion in the world?" and "What happen to compassion?" effectively reinforce the theme throughout the poem. The references to Christmas and its significance, as well as the imagery of Santa, reindeer, and the birth of Jesus, add a spiritual and universal dimension to the plea for compassion.
I love that your poem speaks about compassion, something that is essential especially throughout the holidays. I had my first try at the villanelle too, so kudos to you for coming up with this piece! I adored the photo that you have attached.
More compassion for others and also self are deeply needed. 👏👏 I have honestly not looked into the challenge yet ..all I know is Mike writes a lot of these! I will have to check out the structure! Anyhow great message in your poem Mariann, and I hope you have been travelling well. 😊👍 Trying to get back into vocal as I haven’t been on much this week. Well done and have a great day!
I'm so happy you wrote a poem based on that picture. I hope you don't get me wrong though, I'm only saying this because you asked. That isn't the correct format for a villanelle. Mike has written on how to write a villanelle. I'll leave the link in the comment below. I hope I've not hurt you or offended you. But if I did, then I'm so sorry 🥺❤️🙏🏼
Nice, love the comic at top! 😉😊👍🍁.
Love the poem (I say the easiest way for you to see compassion in this world is simply to look in a mirror for you truly do exemplify the word). Though according to the link they supplied for us within the challenge indicates that the villanelle originally had no set form, I do believe they intend for us to use the strict form that has been in place for the past several centuries: A1 b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2. Your first line should also be your 6th, 12th & 18th line ("Who cares what’s happening around the world?"). Your third line should also be your 9th, 15th & 19th line ("Where is compassion in the world?"). Simply substituting those lines with your 1st & 3rd, for example, would produce the following villanelle: Who cares what’s happening around the world? What happen to compassion? Where is compassion in the world? Where is the Love? Will we find Comp I say make way Let reign passion Where is compassion in the world? Who knew what the Christmas Day hold The birth of Jesus’ Passion Where is compassion in the world? Santa don’t lost your hope Elf keep on working for free assion Who cares what’s happening around the world?Who cares what’s happening around the world? Santa you are children’s hope Reindeer Who cares what’s happening around the world? Where is compassion in the world? I hope this helps. (Though if Mike Singleton disagrees with me, take his word for it. It's one of his favorite poetic forms.)
Nice job! I ABSOLUTELY loved the message!
Loved it!!! ❤️❤️💕 My first Villanelle isn't correct but it is my interpretation of the format!!
I enjoyed your villanelle. 💖 In the challenge description. It has a link that describes a villanelle. I always look at someone else's at challenge time to see if I am doing the poetry type correctly. There are so many types. It is easy to get confused.
I like it <3
