The Strength And Intelligence Of Woman - A Villanelle
A villanelle for the strength and intelligence shown by women in the face of two thousand years of patriarchal abuse.
You will need to look these up on Google as the villanelle does not give room for expanded information, though I have followed it with a Women's History Month piece from some years back.
The music is "Wonder Woman" by Miley Cyrus

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.
