NaPoWriMo Day 5

Prompt: Write a villanelle (a kind of poem which has a really, really complicated structure.)


A villanelle written twenty minutes before midnight
I clearly suck at writing villanelles.
If you don't know what that is, join the queue,
For it isn't everybody's cup of tea.

It's been tough to rhyme, can't you tell?
My brain has got way more than it can chew.
I clearly suck at writing villanelles.

Reading five examples still didn't ring a bell
Dumbfounded, I didn't know what to do
For it isn't everybody's cup of tea.

I never wanted a poem to be so swell,
But with this rhyming scheme, there was something to brew,
I clearly suck at writing villanelles.

By the thirteenth line, I said "Oh well",
"Let me end to this madness and break this spell"- For it isn't everybody's cup of tea.

As I have learnt, this is clearly Hell.
I really should have thought this through.
I clearly suck at writing villanelles.
For it isn't everybody's cup of tea.
