this is not a very good villanelle, but I felt like publishing it anyway


Wishful Thinking


Oh, that I could go
where hatred never burned
to meet the falling snow.

A place where I could show
my love, and not be spurned
Oh, that I could go

where children play and grow,
and everyone has learned
to meet the falling snow.

A haven here below
I haven't yet discerned
but oh, that I could go

This Eden I will know
When I at last have turned
to meet the falling snow

Instead the cruel winds blow
me far from where I yearned
to be; I cannot go
and meet the falling snow.
