Let not misfortune weaken your resolve,
Nor fear to seek assistance from a friend,
When well appointed plans fail to evolve;

Perchance another’s insight will dissolve
Those vague complexities that might attend –
Let not misfortune weaken your resolve.

In comradeship your future do involve,
For in distress on it you need depend,
When well appointed plans fail to evolve.

From solid life vicissitudes exsolve
Presenting disconcertions that offend –
Let not misfortune weaken your resolve.

Upon the road of life we need to solve
Contentions which our honour shall defend,
When well appointed plans fail to evolve.

From untoward concern the self absolve,
Solicitude, to her embrace extend –
Let not misfortune weaken your resolve
When well appointed plans fail to evolve!

    This one is beautiful both image and words. You are so right by sharing a problem with a friend – all manner of positive developments can occur, plus a sense of relief. Janet xxx

    I like the villanelle very much. I see you followed the structure well. I have been looking for it, I dont think I get notices when you post. I was out this afternoon taking some Fall photos before it rains again and spoils the leaves. Nice form on the villanelle!

    what is the fluffy thing in the photo? It reminds me of the thing that floats aroundd, we used to call them money-stealers.
