Villanelles

Like the Purest Honey

Like the Purest Honey

Sep 27, 2024

Some friends are keepers, some are not,
But the one I met today is sweet,
Like the purest honey, from the quaintest pot.

Perhaps they're beautiful, with inside rot.
But at least we got to meet.
Even if some friends are keepers, and some are not.

Yet cruel intentions, imagine I cannot,
When they're like warm rain in the summer's heat,
Like the purest honey, from the quaintest pot.

If one day I find that their temper is hot,
And their sugar-coated words are obsolete,
Because some friends are keepers, and some are not.

Then I'll leave their life, with neither regret nor mot,
Because I knew at least one version who was a treat,
Like the purest honey, from the quaintest pot.

So I hope that they're rich inside, like 10,000 baht,
And neither gold nor diamonds can compete.
Even though some friends are keepers, and some are not,
They are like the purest honey, from the quaintest pot.

Weird words:
Mot - in this context, it's short for "bon mot", which is a witty remark.
Baht - a currency in Thailand

Just some poems I've made in my spare time. They don't really have a theme usually, but that's okay, right? I don't know, I guess I'm just sharing them for people who appreciate this sorta thing :) Hope you enjoy!

Also, at the moment there's not really an upload schedule or anything. I just post them when I make them.

P.S. For those who don't know what a villanelle is, it's a type of poem with six stanzas. The first five have an ABA rhyme scheme, with the first and last lines of the first stanza repeated as the last line of the other stanzas. The sixth stanza has an ABAA rhyme scheme, with the last two lines being the first and last lines of the first stanza. It's confusing, but I promise it'll make more sense if you read one :)
