Jim,
My apologies for not acknowledging you and I thank you for your comments.
Yves
Try as I might I find no ideology in this however there is much self in this.
Chelsea,
As this is only the second villanelle I have written it has been good to get the responses that I did. It pushed me to recast and recast which I find to be a good thing. I have no problem loosening the strictures of form. As Yves said above the aim is always to find the best poem in our endeavours.
Regards and thanks to all,
Jan
