I wonder if I could do well
With words spinning round my sight
To try and write a villanelle

I hear it can be tough as hell
Even with all the minds great might
I wonder if I could do well

Would Dylan ever call this swell?
Would he criticize, would we sit and fight
To try and write a villanelle

Perhaps this is an endeavor I should quell
Like the small boy abandons the kite
I wonder if I could do well

That darkness whence raged against can tell
As I grab at lines floating by in the night
To try and write a villanelle  

But I’ll just try and break this shell
Perhaps these words can take a bite
I wonder if I could do well
To try and write a villanelle
