Why I should choose this week to have a go at writing a 'villanelle' I don't know. It was really hard as it follows a set rhyming pattern and is usually in iambic pentameter, which took ages (hence my late submission). Dylan Thomas' s 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night' is a famous example where it works really well. Have a go!!<br /><br />WIth regard to the Golden Brown video, if you're not familiar with the classic song, there's another example on You Tube which is the one we always used to see on TV when the song was promoted. It's quite strange but well worth seeking out. There all sorts of theories as to what the 'golden brown' was from heroin to a seductive woman. Like our poetry it's open to interpretation I guess.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-33746570473394626762012-07-17T06:43:29.640-07:002012-07-17T06:43:29.640-07:00Marilyn this is a wonderful video, (now if he were...Marilyn this is a wonderful video, (now if he were asking me to wear a LBD oh yes!)
