Light And Dark - Individual And Combined Villanelles

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

There is a Light and Dark Villanelle version. Then I combine the two side by side as Villanelle pieces

I wonder what the difference is separated and combined?

Second version has tighter verse. Just posted the second version I hope you enjoy it.

I guess what I am trying to do, is contrast opposing sides, but it is a hard chore.

How does one paint, contrast dark, without light?

Light And Dark Version 2

Individual And Combined Villanelles

 

  

Light Version 2

 

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

Songbird tranquil, morning serenade peace

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might

 

Sun dances alight auras, budding bleach white

Warm fresh air, floral fragrances, lofting pieces

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

 

Enlightened environment wander flight

Shadow shade prism, contrasts refraction crease

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might

 

Butterfly ballet warm melody lite

Barefoot amongst wild rhapsody greenpiece

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

 

Spread thee feathered quill, do quiver soul’s byte.

We are born to branch explore, fork timepieces

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might

 

Birth to death - living full sentences plight

Take seconds, minute sharp, to terse release

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might

 

 

Dark Version 2

 

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Owls promenade soliloquy berceuse

Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

Moon halos calm sensual prance hindsight             

Clairvoyant UniVerse spark showpieces

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Free thought traversal wonder bout nighttime

Silhouetted reflection masterpiece

Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

Tap-dance harmony's nutcracker midnight

Free spirit ecstasy, full filled warm fleece

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Thread peace woven, tranquil consoled limelight                 

Pinnacle points, bearing carte blanche eyepieces

Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

Evenings voice existence, post haste insight

Hours float by, within revived mouthpieces

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

 

Light Contrasting Dark Version 2

 

 

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Songbird tranquil, morning serenade peace / Owls promenade soliloquy berceuse

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might / Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

Sun dances alight auras, budding bleach white / Moon halos sensual prance calm hindsight

Warm fresh air, floral fragrances, lofting piece / Clairvoyant UniVerse spark showpieces

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Enlightened environment wander flight / Free thought traversal wonder bout nighttime

Shadow shade prism, contrasts refraction crease / Silhouetted reflection masterpiece

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might / Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

Butterfly ballet warm melody lite / Tap-dance harmony's nutcracker midnight

Barefoot amongst wild rhapsody greenpiece / Free spirit ecstasy, full filled warm fleece

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Spread thee feathered quill, do quiver soul’s byte / Thread peace woven, tranquil consoled limelight

We are born to explore fork branch timepieces / Pinnacle points, bearing carte blanche eyepieces

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might / Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

 

Birth to death - living full sentences plight / Evenings voice existence, post haste insight

Take seconds, minute sharp, to terse release / Hours float by, within revived mouthpieces

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Dew beads sparkle heavy gravity might / Parched leaves alight bulk levity moonlight

Light Version One

 

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

Songbird tranquil peace, morning serenade

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity

 

Sun auras dance alight, budding breeze balm

Warm fresh air, floral fragrances, lofting sails

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

 

Enlightened environment wanderings

Shadow box shade prism, contrasts refraction

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity

 

Butterfly ballet mellow melody

Barefoot rhapsody amongst wild florets

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

 

Spread thee feathered quill, do quiver thy soul

We are born to explore forks mid branches

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity

 

Birth to death - living life full sentences

Take every second, minute sharp, to terse

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity

 

 

 

Dark Version One

 

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Owls soliloquy night time promenade

Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

 

Moon halos prance adrift sensual calm

Cool clairvoyance, evening UniVerse flairs

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Free thinking, thought traversal wondering

Moonlight silhouetted water reflections

Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

 

Midnight tap-dance nutcracker harmony

Free spirit ecstasy, full filled chorus

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Thread being peace woven, tranquil consoled

We are pinnacle points, bearing carte blanche

Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

 

Evenings dew relate post haste existence

Hours gone by, must become resurfaced verse

Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

Songbird tranquil peace, morning serenade / Owls soliloquy night time promenade

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity / Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

 

Sun auras dance, alight budding breeze balm / Moon halos prance adrift sensual calm

Warm fresh air, floral fragrances, lofting sails / Cool clairvoyance, evening UniVerse flairs

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

 

Enlightened environment wanderings / Free thinking, thought traversal wondering

Shadow box shade prism, contrasts refraction / Moonlight silhouetted water reflections

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity / Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

 

Butterfly ballet mellow melody / Midnight tap-dance nutcracker harmony

Barefoot rhapsody amongst wild florets / Free spirit ecstasy, full filled chorus

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

We are born to explore forks mid branches / We are pinnacle points, bearing carte blanche

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity / Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

 

Birth to death - living life full sentences / Evenings dew relate post haste existence

Take every second, minute sharp, to terse / Hours gone by, must become resurfaced verse

Dawn shadow beams, moving tree limb sunlight / Sunset pastels fade, midst shaded starlight

Dew beads sparkle heavy weight gravity / Parched dry leaves float alight bulk levity

I know that you have put a lot of effort into these specific forms, but I find no solace in all of the word work that is required, making me more exhausted rather than interested in what you write. I would much prefer you writing straight from the hip your thoughts on matters like this.
