#I was going to start a line with betwixt but that’s unstressed stressed

Webby's Promise - A Hatchetfield Villanelle

The Queen in White spins her fragile, new Web

The Witchwood contains an old magic spell

Woven through the trees lies spider's silk thread

Whispers from the tree-people, lives long dead

To sing songs to prophets whose dreams they quell

The Queen in White spins her fragile, new Web

Townsfolk are filled with a deep fear and dread

Called to worship by the clanging of bells

Woven through the trees lies spider's silk thread

Though time has past, the soil is still stained red

Fueled by the poor souls the town had to sell

The Queen in White spins her fragile, new Web

Soft moss on which weary seers lay their head

Creatures hide in caves, a safe place to dwell

Woven through the trees lies spider's silk thread

Seep into the ground where blood has been bled

Stand, protector, over the gates to hell

The Queen in White spins her fragile, new Web

Woven through the trees lies spider's silk thread
