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
