Unmasking Wyverns (Villanelle) by horus8

Watch me slave at words I could never say Monsoon shark god furious The love of my father, she snaked away. Wind swept waves bled 'til Sunday It's a shame I am that curious Watch me slave at words I could never say. Fierce night howls paved the way And the way it was deleterious The love of my father, she snaked away. Children raced past our well-lit display An unintentional metamorphosis Watch me slave at words I could never say. A crow-haired woman asked, "was I okay?" Lips crimson and voluptuous The love of my father, she snaked away. A god of wind, a shark at play Your past is not mysterious Watch me slave at words I could never say The love of my father, she snaked away.

Vilanelle



A Villanelle: "is 19 lines long, but only uses two rhymes, while also repeating two lines throughout the poem. The first five stanzas are triplets, and the last stanza is a quatrain such that the rhyme scheme is as follows: "aba aba aba aba aba abaa." The tricky part is that the 1st and 3rd lines from the first stanza are alternately repeated such that the 1st line becomes the last line in the second stanza, and the 3rd line becomes the last line in the third stanza. The last two lines of the poem are lines 1 and 3 respectively, making a rhymed couplet." --.

I pray this helps the 'ism' of your beak. If not. Oh, well.
