Russell Sivey Poet Villanelle

Land In White

I see a land completely all in white
Secluded by the trees and the bushes
This place is grand seeming a holy sight

It’s not like snow or powder in some night
The land is quietly filled with shushes
I see a land completely all in white

The woods holds the mystery of delight
Will the fairy that made this give wishes
The place is grand seeming a holy sight

There are spots illuminated by light
The whiteness is bright and filled with lushes
I see a land completely all in white

No creature here really wants to fight
Glory emphatic is great in thrushes
The place is grand seeming a holy sight

White seems to sure make everything just right
Not a plant carries or surely crushes
I see a land completely all in white
The place is grand seeming a holy sight
