*Inspired by Lauren2010's Winter Olympics task! I have done a villanelle the most classic of ways…landscape!*

So long to Summer’s song with Her tired eyes,

Slowly watching her heart melt below emerald lands,

Tomorrow, a new view of storm shattering skies.

*

Winter’s breath freed as the swallow flies,

Searching for fire south of the Sahara sands,

So long to Summer’s song with Her tired eyes.

*

Sweet Heidy awakens as the firework Bee Balm dies,

Alongside weary branches shaking off their painted hands,

Tomorrow, a new view of storm shattering skies.

*

Drizzling rain pitter patters as heaven cries,

Grass’ dew a frozen blanket from His morning commands,

So long to Summer’s song with Her tired eyes.

*

Rolling thunder and crackling light join again as worthy allies,

Summer’s heart stays low to follow Winter’s demands,

Tomorrow, a new view of storm shattering skies.

*

Diamond orbs at attention as time falls back anti-clockwise,

Seven months of solar sleep as the Earth follows it’s plans,

So long to Summer’s song with Her tired eyes,

Tomorrow, a new view of storm shattering skies.
