Landon,

This is my first attempt at a Villanelle, and I thought I'd address it
to you - new Guildmaster of the Sentinels.

The Wrath of the Forest!


Where is the wrath of the forest?
Tell me, Lady who sleeps!
Where are Your champions, Your best...

To fight with you with their best?
For my Lady, the spirits weep!
Where is the wrath of the forest?

They turn to You, Lord Lupus, with zest
Still my Lady, we bow at your feet!
Where are Your champions, Your best

Will they silence the fires of the forest lest
When You return, no forests you'll meet!
Where is the wrath of the forest?

Surely you know you are missed
By all who yearn to meet You on the street!
Where is the wrath of the forest?
Where are Your champions, Your best...

Penned by my hand on the 18th of Chronos, in the year 369 AF.
