I decided to write a villanelle for this. It was surprisingly easy, as the prompt was vaguely surrealist so it gave me loads of word options! It’s about the friendship between two surrealist painters, Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington.

My dove, my love, my pot of jam

My sister witch, my ginger cat

You understand me as I am

My rocking horse, my friend, my lamb

My freedom call, my bowler hat

My dove, my love, my pot of jam

My open door, my window jamb

My horse, my house, my tit-for-tat

You understand me as I am.

My life, my leaf, my wild yam

My unicorn, my chew-the-fat

My dove, my love, my pot of jam

My sorceress, my give-a-damn

My vagabond, my caveat

You understand me as I am

Amusing muse, my epigram

My Sunday best, my laundromat

My dove, my love, my pot of jam

You understand me as I am
