Emile Pinet Poet Villanelle

A Peregrine Falcon

A peregrine falcon masters the sky
its wings majestically arched with flair
soaring with the elements eye to eye.

In a flurry of speed, it flashes by 
serenely aloof, untethered and rare
a peregrine falcon masters the sky.

Sunlight gilds feathers as soft as a sigh
and flickering flecks ignite in the air
soaring with the elements eye to eye.

Naturally nimble, graceful, and spry,
inspiring both audacity and dare
a peregrine falcon masters the sky.

Riding an invisible thermal high
it lifts me until suddenly I’m there
soaring with the elements eye to eye.

Like poetry in motion, wingtips fly
and awed by its beauty, I can but stare.
Soaring with the elements eye to eye,
a peregrine falcon masters the sky.


(Villanelle)
