The Silly Villanelle of a Lily on a Turn so Hilly
This is so very silly,
trying to write poetry and learn,
should I write about a lily?
They shine and are frilly,
those lily's living on that turn;
enjoyed around the turn so hilly.
A flower doesn't like chilly,
the lily prefers warm weather concern;
should I write about a lily?
Popular thing this hardy filly,
a flower so pretty yet stern;
enjoyed around the turn so hilly.
Colors have meaning so silly,
love, passion, viginity, purity and burn;
should I write about a lily?
Beauty this flower does earn,
meaningful as we study and learn,
enjoyed around the turn so hilly,
should I write about a lily?

Post a CommentCute. Nicely done.
actually davida, as long as the last lines alternate like they have in this one and are used in the last quatrain as the two last lines, it is still considered a villanelle
Good start here, but I think you forgot that both lines 1 and 3 of the first tercet have to alternate as the last lines of the middle tercets and then become the last two lines of the final quatrain. But it really is a good effort.
I have a hard time with form poetry sometimes. I have to give you credit.
Nicely done!
Fun poem!
very creative!
Good one, I didn't even want to attempt the Villanelle! cheers :)
Nice work, this poem so frilly about a lily.
Really cute and fun! And I'm glad it's you trying this form of poetry and not me! :)
