My Attempt at Writing a Villanelle
I have no idea what to write,
But Julie says I must.
I might just do it, I might.
The villanelle structure is too tight
And everyone looks smarter than me
...I have no idea what to write.
I'm feeling the flow, it's like a kite;
The wind is taking me higher
...I might just do it, I might.
I'm trying my best, it's making me fight.
The villanelle doesn't want to work.
...I have no idea what to write.
Now it's working, a beautiful sight;
The structure unfolds down the page
...I might just do it, I might.
And now like a blind one I see the light.
It's written; it's finished.
...I didn't know what to write
But I might write one again, I might.
The very first piece of work I wrote at Villiers Park.
By the way, the last line was an outright lie.

this was genious at the time...seriously...I couldn't have loved it more <3
you should write another villanelle! because you're far too cool to let a silly poem structure make a fool out of you!
