A Villanelle
A Villanelle is nineteen lines with an ( aba aba aba aba aba abaa ) rhyming scheme. The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the poem and appear together in the last couplet's last two lines.
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold,
to augment Autumn's floral treasure chest;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
Roses are vulnerable to the cold,
and when their shriveled blossoms look distressed;
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold.
In late Autumn, they're a sight to behold;
aromatic blooms that outlive the rest,
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
When wildflowers wither and turn to mold
amidst barren stocks that appear undressed;
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold.
As Autumn approaches Winter's threshold,
the fragrant Marigolds are at their best;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
As frigid nights and winter snows take hold,
there is one flower that leaves me impressed.
Marigolds offer copper, brass, and gold;
flaunting florets that are strikingly bold.
