Did I write a villanelle,do tell!
I broke the rules and caused dismay and doubt.
Did I write a parable as well?
It helps a lot if one knows how to spell
But rules are guides that we may need to flout
Did I write a villanelle,do tell!
Near the sea of Galilee befell
The miracles which hint but do not shout
Did I write a parable as well?
Have you tried to write inside a shell?
Have you read the Bible inside out?
Did I write a villanelle,do tell?
This afternoon I was not feeling swell.
The doctor is most kind when he’s about.
Did I write a parable unwell?
Some folk don’t like government by louts
Demagogues shout loudly up the spout
Did I write the villanelle from hell?
Did I write a parable as well?
