We stand and listen as the spring comes in with wind that whips against the warming land. The birds are chirping like they’ve always been.

I close my eyes and hear my heart within while birds sing softly. Gently hold my hand. We stand and listen as the spring comes in.

With songs so joyful, I can only grin. Sweet sound keeps flowing, as if subtly planned. The birds are chirping like they’ve always been.

With buds on branches still a little thin. And look, that sparrow singing on command. We stand and listen as the spring comes in.

Cheep cheep it chirps. I turn around and spin. I thought I heard you say I understand. The birds are chirping like they’ve always been.

Been quiet now so long I don’t know when. The birds begin to sing. They sound so grand. We stand and listen as the spring comes in. The birds are chirping like they’ve always been.

A villanelle is a poem with 19 lines; five tercets each (three-line stanzas) and ends with a quatrain (four-line quatrain).

A villanelle line can be written in any meter though many are written in iambic pentameter (10 syllables unstressed/stressed per line) as I did in this poem.

Each line end-rhymes following the pattern: A1-b-A2 / a-b-A1 / a-b-A2 / a-b-A1 / a-b-A2 / a-b-A1-A2 with… ‘A1' a repeating refrain line. ‘A2’ a repeating refrain line that end-rhymes with A1. ‘a’ is a line that end-rhymes with A1 and A2. ‘b’ is a line that end-rhymes with the other ‘b’ lines.

Written in response to Dr. Preeti Singh and her Dancing Elephants Press Prompt 26 of 52 “ The Sounds Of Nature Are Like Music With Joy.” I know many of you agree with me and Dr.Preeti. The sounds of nature is song and we can play along. I wrote a poem, my first villanelle, but any form or style of writing is perfectly fine for this prompt.
