Een 'Villanelle'

[Ming-Xia]

Yupyup... Opdracht voor Engels: schrijf een Villanelle en hou je aan de regels... nou dat zijn er nogal wat dus die bespaar ik jullie, maar hier is mijn resultaat:

The unsparing season

Sun sets, the moon rises, winter is worn
The world starts to wear a white bright costume
Thus a dreamy dazzling whiteness is born

Flowers which need the sun begin to mourn
And frost-flowers can now begin to bloom
Sun sets, the moon rises, winter is worn

All trees and tiny bushes look forlorn
Lifeless leaves have fallen to meet their doom
Thus a dreamy dazzling whiteness is born

Insects, which detest cold, are being torn
And unpleasant ice-creatures start to loom
Sun sets, the moon rises, winter is worn

Only silence is to be seen at dawn
Crystals and stalactites begin to boom
Thus a dreamy dazzling whiteness is born

Hush echoed in snow, like blown through a horn
The stars at the sky and ice start to gloom
Sun sets, the moon rises, winter is worn
Thus a dreamy dazzling whiteness is born
