A/N: Ah yes, the Vanilla Pastry CHALLENGE!
*crickets playing*
Oh no...wait, no hold on a sec... are you telling me it ISN'T a Vanilla Pastry challenge?!
No?!
Booooooo!
[Honestly, not that I'm complaining I can't cook.]
Okay, no, I'm joking, this is the Villanelle Pastoral challenge! (but I'm going to dub it Vanilla Pastry challenge, 'cause it sounds cooler and also, when I read the challenge I legit thought it was Vanilla Pastry challenge and that confused me for a sec.)
Title: Bittersweet Nature
Name: Imagine Coldplay/Purple
Cohort: 2
Prompt: Challenge- Villanelle Pastoral
Words: 307 (JUST the poems AND titles, not counting the extra words like the A/N and this)
Villanelle:
Bittersweet Blood.
Sweet and soft
Light and smooth
All of the breath being held aloft
Bright as day
Dark as night
Sweet and soft
Bitter and harsh
Blood and sweat
All of the breath being held aloft
Cries and lies
Screams of pain
Sweet and soft
May they tear me
May they know
All of the breath being held aloft
Sometimes enough is enough
And sometimes all we'll do is try
Sweet and soft
All of the breath being held aloft.
Pastoral Poem:
Gorgeous Nature.
Look at all of that beautiful green…
Those swaying trees
Look at the beauty of Mother Nature
For she is wise and ever knowing
All of her subjects have a link to their all-powerful Queen.
These subjects, the animals know beyond and know more than we could ever
They know when storms approach
They know when their Queen Mother is upset
And yet all of these animals live in harmony, following their instincts
Breathe, the pure air
Look at the stars, sun and moon shine above, for these are heaven's gems
And may we treasure them, for the sky is their treasure box who maintains them all
Appreciate nature's beauty and generosity
For when you don't, consequences shall come to you
For the Queen Mother Nature's wrath is not one to be confronted with
Look at these animals who do not judge each other
Look at the lovely and diverse shades of green
Look at the extravagant colors of these fruits, vegetables and animals
Look at their diverse shapes and sizes
Since everything Mother Nature does has a reason and purpose
As do we.
Look at the lovely snow…
So white and pure
So clear and lovely
Observe these snowflakes
So diverse and lovely as always
Appreciate it
Nature is lovely
Appreciate it
Because once it's gone….
No color will remain….
A/N: Hopefully I did this right. *takes a bow* Thanks for sticking with me on this. Honestly, poems are not that bad... See ya later haters.
