[Stylist] new poem

[anniecms64 at gmail.com]

OMG, I  can't explain it but the first four  stanzas are tercets, lines one
and three end tercets 2, 3, and 4, the five line conclusion uses  the first
and last lines in the refrain at the end. Line two has to also rhyme in line
two of each new tercet.

When I  write a  fixed form, I  find an example that closely matches the
iambic pentameter and use it as a  template. This is easier on my mind. I
just cannot follow  the  other instructions.

Hey Annie,

 

I enjoyed this poem, thanks for sharing, and sorry to hear about your
insomnia.

 

I'm probably mis-remembering, but doesn't a villanelle have a stanza of
rhyming lines, then each subsequent stanza starts with a different line from
the first stanza, or is that another form?

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

 

Peace,

 

Chris
