A Villanelle I Would Write
I decided a Villanelle to write
Looking at my garden on cusp of summer’s end
Soon within my heart I realized my plight
There the morning glories had reached their height
My garden no longer a pretty godsend
I decided a Villanelle to write
I saw my mistake right away alright
My garden wrapped in morning glories offends
Soon within my heart I realized my plight
The daylilies no longer bloomed just right
A pastoral scene I would need to pretend
I decided a Villanelle I would write
No longer is there the sound of bobwhite
Only the crows caw a warning to defend
Soon within my heart I realized my plight
A pastoral scene came to me with delight
A sun rises over silhouetted pines and suspends
I decided a Villanelle to write
Soon within my heart, I realized my plight
