A Villancico Poem
A chapter in the book Commentary and Philosophy
Perfection
by Treischel
Perfection
What bright road leads to perfection, As life heads in its direction? While you're seeking throughout the night Sorting it out, what's wrong from right it's very easy to lose sight That the course still needs correction As you're seeking out perfection Find perfection In your lover's smiling eyes Find perfection Within Nature's big blue skies And everywhere you look You will find a pleasant brook When every single step you took Finds perfection This is such an amazing world When its secrets are first unfurled Child-like minds in amazement twirled Spinning out every direction At the cosmic intersection Find perfection In your lover's smiling eyes Find perfection Within Nature's big blue skies And everywhere you look You will find a pleasant brook When every single step you took Finds perfection The world spinning in control Within a universal role One little portion of the whole Within gravity's protection At the Creator's election Find perfection In your lover's smiling eyes Find perfection Within Nature's big blue skies And everywhere you look You will find a pleasant brook When every single step you took Finds perfection |

This Poem is about seeing the perfection that is all around you.
At a Prompt from Gungalo, I am making an attempt at a Villancico Style Poem.
Villancico: Spanish verse form first found in 12th century Iberia. Usually about religious, pastoral or other popular theme. Unlike its spin off the Villanelle, there are many different verse rules. It seems most of the Villancico written during this time use the following rules. Opening stanza provides in whole or in part, a REFREAIN of one or two lines that rhyme. This refrain will conclude the remaining stanzas. Rhyme scheme is quite demanding, with each stanza required to be symmetrical from 3 to 8 lines and rhyme with one another but not with the refrain. Further complicated by mandatory symmetrical 6 to 14 syllable lines seems to be standard,, except in the refrains, where syllable count is not as important. Here is the most common rhyme scheme. Aa bbbaa bbbaa cccaa, etc.. Today, lyric writers us this form for the combined use of rhyme, meter and syllabic count, but have changed verse rules to fit their needs. I hope I did it right.
The photograph is a fountain at the Como Conservatory in St. Paul Minnesota. I thought it is close to perfection.
