This is a beautiful image and your Vilanelle is equally beautiful, Grace. I particularly love the lines:<br />'grab me a mirage of purple and lilacs<br />to bouquet the sky of grey & icy nights'<br />and-<br />'my hands are tarred in disquiet<br />viewing soggy heads of dead roses, black'.<br />The repeated line echoes, a 'choir of colour' throughout!<br />Kim M.
