I thought I'd write a villanelle though form is not my forte yet I'll try, what the hell
Let's see if I can do this well as an exercise in structure I thought I'd write a villanelle
Can I make my verses swell write five of them as tercets well I'll try, what the hell
For to my inertia quell while my muse is absent I thought I'd write a villanelle
Now I've fallen to the spell but the next must be a quatrain so I'll try, what the hell
My words upon the page do jell and this is almost finished I thought I'd write a villanelle then I tried, what the hell

I've not really paid that much attention to form and structure before, but something about the villanelle form charmed me recently - and I hadn't produced anything new, other than fragments, for a while... so what the hell...
