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.
Villanelle of a Bitter Girl
You walked out the door
Maybe not in the traditional way
This might hurt even more
I feel it deep to my core
It was a form of running away
You walked out the door
It may have well been a war
but I was the one who lost that day
This might hurt even more
My feet, unstable on the floor
I feel tricked, led astray
You walked out the door
When you left, I swore
My heart broke, made from delicate clay
This might hurt even more
I was young, three more than four
When a bottle was worth more than to stay
You walked out the door
This might hurt even more
