A Villanelle and a Sonnet
"...from the height
Of heaven hangs one final kiss of day"
What a gorgeous image.
Thank you so much! :)
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!
Thanks so much, Elizabeth! I decided it was high time I wrote another villanelle... ;-)
so beautiful 🌻
Thank you very much! :)
"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. ;-)
