(My first attempt at writing a Villanelle) Earth has woken up from under the blanket of gloom. Sun has emerged beaming garishly bright. Bees buzz around fragrant flowers that bloom. Early morn looks fresh and beautiful as a bloom Between the twilight glare and the golden light, Earth has woken up from under the blanket of gloom. Joggers are out for their routine walk to groom. Inhaling fresh morning air, for them, is sheer delight. Bees buzz around fragrant flowers that bloom. With sunrise, shadows have begun to zoom The roads lie vacant in still lingering twilight. Earth has woken up from under the blanket of gloom. Women are not yet out to sweep the yard with their broom Which the rustic folk religiously undertake as a routine rite. Bees buzz around fragrant flowers that bloom. As the day advances, all sundry activities will resume. The quiet will cease and business will throw back in full might. Earth has woken up from under the blanket of gloom. Bees buzz around fragrant flowers that bloom. ___________________________________
