Writing a Villanelle
An attempt at writing a villanelleย
Only a poem, such a simple hunch.
Brains a bit jittery, let's say farewell
Make it good enough; readers to compel
If it fails, again! the paper will crunch
An attempt at writing a villanelleย
I could just paste and copy to excel
"My head at the moment is out to lunch"
Brains a bit jittery, let's say farewellย
Wording too glittery, so much can't dwell
Somehow gets difficult, no-one to punch
An attempt at writing a villanelle!
How about a little magical spell
An articulate potion: thanks a bunch.
Brains (a bit) jittery, let's say farewell
Break it down as small as an organelleย
A tricky structure and distaining glunch
My attempt at writing a villanelleย
Brains a bit jittery, just say farewell
Thanks Shaun Cronick, one of your comments "in quotations" helped me finish this

Well tickle me pink Lorna!!!
Hey!! You have completed it!!๐
Mission accomplished!!
This reader knows how a villanelle works and pans out and this works MORE than just well.
Deftly done and fun throughout and congratulations are in order as well.
You would have got there under your own steam and keep it quiet... but recreational drugs (allegedly) dulls the senses for clarity of thought when scribing poetry!!
Just ask the demented ghosts of Shelley and Byron, they'll fill you in on that trifling writer's block matter.
Well done again Lorna and this so so poet will have more time in the following days to read your latest and older posts as well.
And looking forward to it. x.
Thanks Shaun,ย
I've been procrastinating for what feels like ages over this and that's not usually the way I work. Harnessing recreational drugs feels like a little of an overreaction to such a (trivial) thing! Hahaha... however I am feeling the need in succumbing to peer pressure so let's go!!ย
thank you, I'm happy to be finished!ย
And I'm glad you liked it
lorna :)
Oh well done you!ย They are pretty difficult to write, Lorna, so congratulations on the accomplishment x
Thank youย
I'm happy to be done eventually :)ย
And thanks for popping over
lorna :)
Yes...well done Lorna, I have no.idea what a villanelle is so I'm off to Google but well done x
Hi Marion.... also ... I think I explained what a villanelle was on my post a while back ( last year, I think) ... A Villanelle. If that helps any xx
You prob did love and I prob forgot.ย
While I love learning about most things and respect all the masters etc etc when it comes to poetry and art actually, for me personally, I feel constricted when having to follow any kind of creative 'rule'...maybe I'm just a rebel, but I really do respect the skill of others to be able to achieve such effects...I never could...so massive respect to you all...hugs xx
This is what is good about poetry. It can be formal or informal. It can rhyme or not rhyme. Anything goes really. If you look at the usual Rattle Poetry prize winners, they don't even write poetry ( To, my mind ... opens up can of worms).ย You write perfectly wonderful poetry, Marion, it is your own unique voice and that IS the most important thing in writing poetry... to have your own voice. Your poetry SINGS from the page xx
ย Tina, I'll have to go check that out xx
Oh gawd, Lorna, . I didn't mean anything by it. I only posted that cause I just thought it might help Marion's curiosity xx
Hahahaha...Tina!! You didn't cause offence to me in anyway!!.. take a breath as writers we all worry about people taking things the wrong way and I certainly didn'tย
I was replying to your comment about your villanelleย
My bad for landing my reply in the worng place!!ย
##Actually...I'm still getting things wrong hahahaha... did I mention my brains a bit jittery ๐คฏ๐คฉ
Thanks Marion,ย
you'll find some interesting poetry when you Google it. It feels like a challenge to myself trying to constrain words into a set parameter.
but I only obey rules on occasion!!.. mostly my poetry is freestyleย
thanks for your lovley commentย
lorna xx
my brain is stuck on rhyme mode always.... love this write though the concept of poetry forms illude meย
Thanks Lisa, I feel like it feels me in bit, and somtimes I need to be reeled in a bit haha
glad you liked this one :) x
Even daring to attempt one of these makes you a whole lot braver than me and to pull it off so well means you are in a completely different league .. x
It was this site and the people on it that made me braver and to put my words out into the world then try different forms. The positivity on here really makes you want to write more. I think I forgot that for a while.
lorna :)ย
ย
what a catchy rhythm! As a fellow writer I have felt this! You just captured a feeling of writers block but burnt down the dam in the process. Snaps. :)ย
Thanks Haylee,
I like that it felt rhythmic, I enjoy poetry that could have a beat!!ย
I appreciate your lovley wordsย
Lorna x
