OBB Originals- Villanelle Poems – Thankful

The forces in life may bring strife
And troubles move in like a storm
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life

Keyboards at the ready have become rife
Complaining at a distance is the norm
The forces in life may bring strife

The comments and jabs cut like a knife
Every minute an antagonist born
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life

The comments remain, a painted still-life
To compel, to argue, and warn
The forces in life may bring strife

Posts linger online, marked by their stife
These jabs and remarks sound like a horn
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life

The keys on a board in place of a fife
To rip ones life tattered and torn
The forces in life may bring strife
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life
