All my illusions shatter in the night.
I see our leader's soul, its rotten core.
Through pain and loss, we struggle toward the light.
To see past veils of lies left me contrite
And weeping, lost upon the marble floor.
All my illusions shatter in the night.
So long, the wary months of numbing fright.
My husband or my son--Who needs me more?
Through pain and loss, we struggle toward the light.
I seek escape in beds of flowers bright.
Inside my home is nought but grim dolor.
All my illusions shatter in the night.
I struck a Devil's bargain. Some insight
Led me to trust a man who'd loved before.
Through pain and loss, we struggle toward the light.
How are we to live? Our once-proud might
Is ashes; we must seek the future's door.
All my illusions shatter in the night.
Through pain and loss, we struggle toward the light.

MY mother in law! i was the unknown chick with Draco in Deathly Hallows ROFL
great poem..gives, i think, a god insight on a character we never heard too much about

Beautifully written! It flows so well and shows an intense amount of depth. I liked your word choice too, and the repetition in it added to the mood of the poem. This is awesome, great write!

I've found I like writing HP poetry a lot, especially if I can make it understandable to people who aren't HP fans. I would love to see more HP poetry.

You know, at the time I didn't realise this was a villanelle. I had to write one the other day and it drove me insane!! So lots of clappy's for writing a HP one

ROFL!!! There is a trick to it, but I'm having a hard time putting it into words. There are types of sentences which work well for the repeating lines. When I figure out how to explain it, maybe I'll write a column.

Yeah I know what you mean, once you get the trick to it they turn out awesome! I think mines the best I've written for a while... I should post it here, and yeah, put it in a column if you do work out how to say it ^^
