Enfold me in a silver glow
A Villanelle
A Villanelle
Enfold me in a silver glow
Tomorrow, yesterday and today
Hold me close when I am low.
Our time is short, don’t you know
We’ll fall like flowers on the way
Enfold me in a silver glow.
Tramp with me through ice and snow,
Or summery fields full of hay
Hold me close when I am low.
And, from the first cock crow
Drink from me, be blithe and gay
Enfold me in a silver glow.
Till cranky, withered and old we grow
And all we have is memories of May
Hold me close when I am low.
Shield me from life’s little blows
Today, tomorrow and yesterday
Enfold me in a silver glow
Hold me close when I am low.

"Till cranky, withered and old we grow"
... so this is the relationship for the lifetime! Congrats on the commitment! ... and all da best ... may ur wishes come true ..
thnks- and it had to rhyme becoz of it being a villanelle; its a v strict italian verse form!
Lovely post! Hmmm incidentally this is the first vilanelle i came across :/ really nice structure to the poem. :)
er- thanks; its not a common form because of its wierd structure.
I guess you have written villanelle b4.. but this is best by far..I like this so damn much :).
Med rocx
erm; i havent written vilanelles before actually; i dont like strict verse forms :) but i might experiment with them later.
AMAZING Looks
ur blogz awesome
:-)
thanks- although i am not sure whether you mean content or design!
oh I see ... all I know is that it's really good ... u know na that I'm ignorant when it comes to rhyme schemes and all ... :)
hahaha....on a more serious note, anup, if you really want to be a poet, try to educate yourself; there are forms and metres you might never use, but until you try you never can tell. instinct unguided by education is no very sure path to art.
okay ... I'm willing to learn ... ver slowly though ... cld u email me some material on this buddy? ... wld appreciate it ... :)
hmm..if u serious i cud
yup! ... I am ... but u've gotta gimme time to learn.. eh buddy? ... u know na that I'm already tied up with a bunch of stuff ... work + studies + blogging = hardly any time ... :) lolz
