terzanelle for anonymous

Spot finds villanelles tough but terzanelles ...

thanks for stimulating his interest.

.......................................................................................

I saw a dappled fish gleaming

To leap and take the fly

And fall back to waters teaming

.......

To disappear beneath the silver sky

Full of life and dreaming

To leap and take the fly

.......

Swifts arrow in, and screaming,

To touch the water with a sigh

Full of life and dreaming,

....

As willows watch the running by,

Waiting as they always do

To touch the water with a sigh,

....

Their roots contorted so, to

Touch the earth, absorb, or die

Waiting as they always do.

....

Of this I know not the meaning

Except our time is short and so I

Touch the Earth, absorb or die,

And fall back to waters teaming.

.....
