Worlds apart
Heard voices in each other’s head
Tongue tied is the stranger’s heart
Face to face they spoke of art
The mongrel and the thoroughbred
Worlds apart
A feverish chart
Two moist dots kept an invalid bed
Tongue tied is the stranger’s heart
Belle lettres folded like a dart
Telling beads on a blooded thread
Worlds apart
A fearful start
Guardian angels with their worn out tread
Tongue tied is the stranger’s heart
When Eve disturbed the apple cart
Lovers flung themselves unwed
Worlds apart
Tongue tied is the stranger’s heart
At DVerse this week Frank throws down what has almost been a challenge too far for me as he shows us how to write a villanelle
