A modern Villanelle

A last love poem


Winter will be so cold this year in England by M.A.Meddings

Those sad winds of Autumn
Come cold and soft
Winter will be so cold this year in England

For I am without the dream of late November
Yet within the memory of yesteryear I embrace
Those sad winds of Autumn

And if my heart remains there
It is without the sunshine and
Winter will be so cold this year in England

Then as the equinox approach becomes real
Beautiful things return to me on
Those sad winds of Autumn

Slowly the days shorten to October fire
And my nights become so long again
Winter will be so cold this year in England

And dreams that faded could not be
Indeed they become sweet memories and ere
Those sad winds of Autumn
Winter will be so cold this year in England

so much meaning behind these "seasons"... but in the cold there is always shelter, and warmth, and hot cider and laughter... iin the cold there is snowmen and children and jingle bells... maybe this winter will be cold, but cold is never horrible... just hopeful..

wondrous poem here dear poet,

such sweet sorrow in those tender lonely words of remembrance and pain. The poem is beautifully contructed but it is its heart that is more beautiful still. Your use of this form for this, your hearts expession, shows the brilliance and artistry of your mind. xx kathy
