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.

To the Beginnings, Endings, and the Inbetween

A dream begins, started anew

Eager and optimistic, ready to fly

The dream goes by, forgotten when due


Plans are formed when skies are blue

When hope is strong, and spirits are high

A dream begins, started anew


But fleeting thoughts begin to coup

I will begin tomorrow, said with a sigh

The dream goes by, forgotten when due


But in this cycle, I've always had you

Believing in me when spirits are dry

A dream begins, started anew


But I will always have you
