Of heaven hangs one final kiss of day"

In the sonnet I love how the multiple repetitions of different words echo the rain tapping on different surfaces. And I love the villanelle because I love villanelles!

"The winds go skirling like a war-refrain

Between the daylight and the storm-clouds’ burst."

What a cool image you discovered there. Skirling wind ... very enjoyable read.

Thanks so much, Mark! I had that image worked out from a failed earlier free verse version. I didn't want to lose it. ;-)
