It's hard to enter on a Monday, when there's a blur of Friday to Sunday where one has to work to maintain the work (even required to be on campus on Saturday). Then, there are so many meetings on a Monday and when you teach on Monday nights, there is little to no time to plan for the class. So, Monday's are thorny, and very much like a Devil's Walking Stick which grows abundantly in my backyard. I had my plant for a poetic challenge to write about a plant in villanelle form.
I do appreciate traditional forms of poetry because I like playing with the rules and rhyme scheme to see what comes of it. This is what came of it, but since it's a Tuesday and I'm recuperating from a Monday (they're all Monday's now), I 'll post today. Now I need time to prepare for tonight's class since there was no time over the weekend or yesterday to get to the work of teaching. And so, the Tilt-a-Whirl continues.
