POEM STARTER

Write a villanelle about something that has been abandoned.

The villanelle is a type of poem characterised by its repeating lines and ABA rhyme scheme which create a lyrical effect. There are a number of other rules for a full villanelle if you wish to incorporate them.

I'm Glad That You Went Away

When I think of you on that day

Tired of the pain we endured

I'm glad that you went away


Mama did nothing but pray

When you'd left on your own, matured

When I think of you on that day


I hope that you've been okay

And living on your own now, cured

...I'm glad that you went away.
