Villanelle

This was a poetry assignment..."write a villanelle"





Misunderstandings, Seeing Only the Outside




Spend your money, on your many needs
Friendships based on material gain, soon fail to fain
Silence loud, silence forgotten, silence broken, who will tend the garden of weeds


Forked lightening, clashes across the night sky, the wind shifts tossing many seeds
Words spoken in abundance, carelessly, soon 'tis the fools pain
Spend your money, on your many needs


Teardrops, fall like rain, pitter, patter, falling reigns fall as yet another soul away speeds
Harsh reality, mistakes broadcast far and wide, cross words oh, how they stain
Compassion flighty, kindred spirits walking along, forging past many fallen steeds


Selfish, jealousy, envy marking the common way, so many eyes filled with so much greed
Insecurities abounded openly, and in secret, oh can you see that bitter fallen rain
Spend your money, on your many needs


Looking on the outside, what do we truly see, nothing truly at all, only a fallen grain, cast amongst many weeds.
Rolling around, seeing nothing but glittery ground, how we forget materialism it is but a stain
Laying down we look up, see the stars shimmering so bright, watch as they race across the night sky as one of many passing steeds.


Stomping our feet we remain calm, we remain collected as so many walls begin to fall as we have forgotten our needs
Coloured glass sparkle in the light, cast many shadows lingering of long forgotten grain
Spend your money, on your many needs
Silence loud, silence forgotten, silence broken, who will tend the garden of weeds

Misunderstandings, Seeing Only the Outside
Misunderstandings, harsh words spoken too fast, how often we forget so many things in this life really don't matter.)
