The Masked Ball – part 4

So, here’s the final decision.
Bianca de’ Gigli with her 9 years partner Kareem Ranjeet will be attending the Masked Ball. The beginning of the story can be found at Mesmered’s.

I’ll post more during the month of April, but end this with a villanelle composed by Bianca for the ball…

The Masked Ball

We shall attend the masked ball
reaching Veniche yesternoon
and merrily dance through the hall

as lights fade, and come nightfall
we shall walk fast under the moon.
We shall attend the masked ball

we cannot resist this joyous call
to see the Museo and its festoon
and merrily dance through the hall,

something we shall forever recall.
It shall be like a honeymoon,
we shall attend the masked ball

and as we swing, each other eyeball
hoping the masked ladies won’t swoon
and merrily dance trough the hall.

And when the masks line the wall
may the judge be the buffoon.
We shall attend the masked ball
and merrily dance through the hall.

(a special thanks to Jan Fortune-Wood of Cinnamon Press for teaching me how to write villanelles! :-D)
