Introduction I have seen lots of posts for Imbolc, which I should have expected given the friends that I have made, but this is the first year that I have been made aware of it. I took the below information from the internet and and will use it along with a painting by my friend The Glittering Fox to create a Villanelle for Imbolc.

It started with a smile Sealed with a wink Oh, to be succinct How do you put all your love into one day When it’s as broad as a rainbow
