( 26) My village Tree -a villanelle

(26) My village Tree. A villanelle.

The Tree was symbolic of shade and peace,
thirty long years were spent in that village,
for many,tree gave asylum by noose.

Rich and needy gathered the market place,
to talk about tutelage and tillage,
The tree was symbolic of shade and peace.

Fair and rituals and go-cart left trace,
young urchins danced around a cellarage,
for many, tree gave asylum by noose.

Yet, Time had its own yardstick a menace,
there grew among the good and bad, cleavage,
The tree was symbolic of shade and peace.

Many a wicked men had a grimace,
to twist men, matter to their advantage,
for many, tree gave asylum by noose.

Yet, the finale probated its own pace,
to dump the criminals in a garbage,
The tree was symbolic of shade and peace,
For many, tree gave asylum by noose.
