How to Write a Villanelle
This poem right here is a villanelle
And though it’s most likely a giant flop
I’d like to believe that it’s kind of swell
Just how I’m writing this I now will tell
You frequent the lines on bottom and top
This poem right here is a villanelle
You only get two rhymes so choose them well
And use iambic so words don't gallop
I’d like to believe that it’s kind of swell
The sentence placement you sure can foretell
Just watch were my repeated lyrics drop
This poem right here is a villanelle
For rhyming scheme, too, you can use this shell
Aba-aba-aba-aba-aba-aba-a you can stop
I’d like to believe that it’s kind of swell
This poetry form might not ring a bell
But this is not the only of its crop
I’d like to believe that it’s kind of swell
This poem right here is a villanelle
