Awesome August 2014 - Wherein I Play With Words

Complex Execution of Simple Design
Hopes and dreams you cannot confine
Fairies and unicorns will never be caught
Complex execution of simple design

Across breadth of ocean and grove of pine
Wonders by ageless wisdom wrought
Hopes and dreams you cannot confine
True destiny only the heart can define
Eternal truths evermore taught
Complex execution of simple design
As long as the sun and moon still shine
Even when with fool's gold bought
Hopes and dreams you cannot confine
At end of days as destinies entwine
Bleak predictions will all come to naught
Complex execution of simple design
By cairns of old our ancient shrine
Black Mares of night nevermore sought
Hopes and dreams you cannot confine
Complex execution of simple design

The villanelle consists of five stanzas of three lines (tercets) followed by a single stanza of four lines (a quatrain) for a total of nineteen lines. It is structured by two repeating rhymes and two refrains: the first line of the first stanza serves as the last line of the second and fourth stanzas, and the third line of the first stanza serves as the last line of the third and fifth stanzas. 


My life is awesome because I have the luxury of the resources and time to indulge my passion for reading, as well as hone my writing skills.
