A Villanelle

A Villanelle

Amelia reads The Soldier by Rupert Brook,
a poem that says much of how I feel -
I suggest you take the time and look.

And yes, my England’s darker like the rook,
but love of country still the deepest deal -
Amelia reads The Soldier by Rupert Brook.

Enchanting forested glade and hidden nook
held dear as well as industrial wheel -
I suggest you take the time and look.

Though foreign climes hold me (away I’m took),
the scars of absence within will never heal -
Amelia reads The Soldier by Rupert Brook.

Now the evening approaches with shepherd’s crook,
still my thoughts to England ever steal -
I suggest you take the time and look.

The final chapter in my wandering book,
my heart they’ll find far beyond anneal.
Amelia reads The Soldier by Rupert Brook,
I suggest you take the time and look.
