Love me some ekphrastic villanelles now that Mikeydred has shown me the light. Your prolific nature when it comes to writing quality villanelles is inspirational. "She who holds the whole of the moon" resonates with me. Nice work.
Beautiful words and beautiful art.
This was so beautiful Mike. I loved it!
Beautiful usage of imagery!
Nice. Villanelles aren't my go-to (all that repetition!), but it works well in this one.

Eeek! Perfect tension, Mike. Love it! When we lived on the equator we had our fair share of large and scary arachnids. I dislike them entirely, this story is the stuff nightmares are made of!
Good story Mike! Makes me think of the old song. Worms crawl in and worms crawl out. In your stomach and out your mouth. π₯°. Interchange the word bugs. π
Ughhh, creepy crawlies! I'm scared of all insects, even a butterfly, lol. Truly creepy story!
