The villanelle won’t jell, I feel dismayed.
I know they’re hell, but they distill my thoughts
A triolet would work if I could play.
I boiled the villanelle to sell today
I do believe I’m feeling underwrought
The villanelle won’t jell, I feel dismayed
I planned to sell the whole lot on Ebay
But someone threw a hint I never caught
A triolet would work if I could play
I appreciate the values of wet hay
My teacher never mentioned poems caught short
The villanelle won’t sell, I can’t display.
Some will plight their troth and others pray
The teacher saw the writing she’d not taught
A triolet would work if I could play
I wrote a poem with words I had not sought
Is it vice to pay when we’ve not bought?
The villanelle won’t jell,I say,hurrah
A violin would work if one could play
