Just an ankle injury,
it's the pain I go against...
How bad can it really be?

In the school I feel dorky
when I'm about to collapse,
Just an ankle injury...

I think I'm good company,
even if I am "half-legged"
how bad can it really be?

It kinda hurts actually,
I can hardly leave my bed,
Just an ankle injury...

When my classmates turned to me
I just smiled at them and asked:
"How bad can it really be?"

I fucked up seriously,
maybe I should take a rest...
Just an ankle injury,
How bad can it really be?

This is my first time writing a villanelle. I've been admiring the ones written by Mike Singleton – he's a villanelle expert – and I was wondering if I could write one too. Here is my first one, not the best, but hopefully my skills will improve in the future. Thanks for the inspiration, Mike! 😊
Unfortunately the week didn't start well for me... I fell over during my practice and hurt my ankle badly... Since I can't go to practice for days, I'll try to write and read more. Luckily we have plenty of challenges and prompts on Vocal and I have my favourite book too, so I'm sure I won't be bored. I hope you guys had a better monday, take care, and don't get injured!

One morning, when I was 13 years old, I rushed to catch the school bus. I was in such a hurry that I hurt my ankle. At the time, I didn't feel any pain, and I even wore a white shoe to school. It wasn't until a few hours later that the pain started. My ankle hurt so much I couldn't walk on it. After school, I went to the doctor, who gave me an ointment. After using the ointment for a while, my ankle felt better and better. Needless to say, I learned my lesson and stopped rushing around so much. Please take good care of yourself.
Fabulously written and sending virtual hugs!!!💕❤️❤️
I hope your injury is on the mend. Be careful and take care. Positives as you say reading and writing. Enjoy the rest. Get well soon.
Oh no, I'm so sorry about your ankle. Hope you recover soon. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Ah contraire, Anna, your Villanelle is wonderful. A delight to the tongue and eyes!
I liked it! Great job and if your ankle hurts I hope soon it doesn’t, LOL.

This wakes up my subconscious to remember when I sprained my ankle, broke my right finger and broke my metatarsals on my left foot the ones by my little toe. Ouch.
This is a really excellent villanelle and so pleased that you have tried it and it really drives home the pain of an ankle injury. I think this could be a Top Story.
