Art of satire ( a villanelle exercise)

poem by: Robert Kohlhammer
Written on May 15, 2017

 No dress rehearsal,class names,quiver of arrows
 The youth are coming from all around far and wide
 hail Satire,legends, live forever, the myths of heroes

 Folklore religion, forebearers revise the heavy creedo
 Curtain calls the stage finals,at the meridian arrives
 no dress rehearsal, class names, the quiver of arrows
 
Conducting  in the evening to a gallery video 
A school of thought examined a healthy malaise
Hail Satire, , legends, live forever, the myths of heroes

Conducting in the trench, troops saluted intro    
passer by,audience members ricochet battle cries
No dress rehearsal, class names, the quiver of  arrows

Conducting in the tension by engaging in the cues of echoing decibals
The  summer evening in the balloon of the ego was exagerated to amplify
Hail satire, , legends,  live  forever, the myths  of  heroes

maestro muso´s court the hall in tempestous one night stand rendevous
The contest is in situe of youthful express from the attributes satire characterise
No dress rehearsal, class names, the quiver of arrows
Hail satire, legends, live  forever, the myths  of  heroes.
