Here's one from the Poetry Workshop. The assignment was to write two different poems, which can be read as one when you put them next to each other. Enjoy.  

Luna - Double Villanelle


Full moon, your magic light shines down on me, ~~ Your firmaments compose the poetry,
Your silver spell a cherished memory, ~~ Alike the Northern Light enchanting me,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery. ~~ You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

You bring my spirit utter ecstasy, ~~ My Luna: temptress, waiting patiently,
Delightful light of perfect harmony, ~~ Bereaving lonely hearts of sanity,
Full moon, your magic light shines down on me. ~~ Your firmaments compose the poetry.

You calm my storms till I feel heavenly, ~~ As stars sing me a nightly symphony,
Your touch is like a lover's hand on me, ~~ Evoking images romantic'lly,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery. ~~ You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

Seductive flirt with my reality, ~~ A moonlit flight throughout felicity,
You chain my heart; bequeathing liberty, ~~ Restoring hope in love and honesty,
Full moon, your magic light shines down on me. ~~ Your firmaments compose the poetry.

Alluring dreams into conspiracy, ~~ While lovers fall into your lunacy,
Of moon lit images illusory, ~~ Creating visions of false destiny,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery. ~~ You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

A silver frail note flutters playfully, ~~ Alike a whisper from infinity,
Charming the stars into a melody, ~~ Enticement into sweet serenity,
Full moon, your magic light shines down on me, ~~ Your firmaments compose the poetry,
Illuminating beams; sweet mystery. ~~ You are this poet's utmost fantasy.

Wow - this is amazing, and so lovely and whimsical.  Pat yourself on the back, Munda, you should be very proud of this!    You make it look easy, but, I know how difficult it is!  

Take care,
Melissa~
