Wall 50: Wobble

Let’s learn something new, shall we?

Writing a villanelle:

19 lines, iambic pentameter if you want to be fancy.  rhyme scheme –

A2

The numbered A’s must repeat as if they are a refrain.  Duality of context helps change the meaning of each iteration as it is read.  This is a very rigid poetic format, but what you will find is that it liberates you and your thoughts.  Think of it as a master-piece shoehorn.  If you complete one, I can say (broadly) that you’ve accomplished something of merit.

Hug someone today, they may need it.
