Villanelle First Attempt

Writers block for this refrain
Learn about form Villanelle
Time to write a second  refrain

A line to rhyme with each refrain
A line to rhyme with villanelle
Writers block for this refrain

Digging deep creativity reign
Writing stanzas not very well
Time to write a second refrain

Can you tell a work by name?
A title of an evil belle
Writers block for this refrain

Practice is the perfect feign
Line by line this villanelle
Writers block for this refrain
Time to write a second refrain

Learning about a form called Villanelle. It's suppose to be rhythmic, which admittedly does get lost when you repeat the exact word instead of rhyming it. To learn more about the form, check it out on One Stop Poetry.

  2. hi tammy - great topic for your first villanelle. the rhythm is solid and you understood how the form works - well done! oh -just see you left out one terzet - it's supposed to be nineteen lines all in all - you have only 16
    and it would be more interesting if you had different words for the end rhymes - but for a first attempt you did very, very well!
