Introduction

This is for Poppy's July Prompt that you can read here

The music is "In The Presence Of Another World" by Blue Γ–yster Cult.

I decided on a villanelle using these prompts:

  • Parallel
  • Newspaper
  • Serpent
  • Chord
  • Fall

    The use of the word parallel in a repeated line was quite a masterful stroke! Made for quite a dΓ©jΓ  vu effect Nicely done, Mike!
