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.
A Second Try
When dreams buckle beneath their weight
And it’s time to move forward,
Realism tells one greatness will have to wait.
When force’d to neglect Momentum’s bell
In a drawn-out Sofie’s choice
To simply allow the past to crumbell,
When I admit breakeven will take a while,
Resaddling my neglected horse
Exacts a humility I cannot reconcile.
I am a new animal
Wiser than before
This time primal.
Leaving nothing to chance
Motivation and doom, goals and hurdles
A spiraling seductive dance
Focus
Now, the only stopping me is me
Focus
