A Rite that Begins After it is Reached
A poem
We rose towards the light.
Beasts (Royals, Sovereigns, Kings) that ruled without coronation.
We fell when it became too bright.
-
It was our right! As you feel it is your right.
What else could it mean through our (prominent-purposeful-powerful) creation?
We rose towards the light.
-
And by the Gods (Us. Us. All of Us) we reached our great height.
Stories shined in our eyes, the beginnings of a constellation.
We fell when it became too bright.
-
Even given with all our might. . .
Giants to breadcrumbs made of ashes (so many ashes) after the cremation.
We rose towards the light.
-
The light you gave because curiosity (bow, bow, and pray) is your rite.
Gods coffin's exposed after excavation.
We fell when it became too bright.
-
(Us; you; them) What will be next to ignite?
Distant or not your bones, bones, many bones will be read as a narration.
We rose towards the light.
We fell when it became too bright.

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.

Fantastic writing.
Congratulations 🎉
I am no expert on Villanelle style but I know what I like and this was interesting and grabbed my attention. Congratulations
Congratulations on your TS.
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Brilliantly done. Love it
Beautiful work! I loved the format and your imagery was gorgeous.
A very interesting construction and format here! Definitely takes the reader out of complacency and stretches figurative limbs. A great job here and congratulations on the top story!
I still don't get Villanelles, great job on it here (I think). I like the cremation and the rising towards the light references...unique. Well done.
This was extremely powerful! You executed this Villanelle brilliantly!
Interesting and delicious content. Keep posting more
