Bathing in the afterglow of sunset, nature’s inflorescence meadows charm tread. Sprays of flowers for my woven basket. Gleam before the blooms fade and all forget. Lavender, Daffodil, Take Me Instead! Bathing in the afterglow of sunset. Balm Jasmine, Hyacinth, Granny’s Bonnet, slightest glow of early morning love shed. Sprays of flowers for my woven basket. Marigold, Primrose, at bay ... they trumpet, raising spring voices in radiance bed. Bathing in the afterglow of sunset. Freesia, Begonia, nimbus duet, rainbow chardonnay bouquet, insect fed. Sprays of flowers for my woven basket. Splashes of color for the daily fret, nourishing aglow with warmth, grace breath spread. Bathing in the afterglow of sunset. Sprays of flowers for my woven basket. 6/10/2016 Villanelle Form Springtime Villanelle Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sotto Poet Using ; http://www.howmanysyllables.com/ 10 syllable count with a A-B-A A-B-A A-B-A A-B-A A-B-A A-B-A-A rhyme Villanelle A French verse form consisting of five three-line stanzas and a final quatrain, with the first and third lines of the first stanza repeating alternately in the following stanzas.
