I Once Wrote A Villanelle

Introduction

I know my friend Harper Lewis is not partial to the villanelle form, while I love using it (and many others). This is just a bit of fun because I wanted to write a poem, but it is one o'clock in the morning, and I don't have time to write a serious one, though I do need to do another Sestina and a Chant Royal.

I have included the excellent "Comedy" by Shack, and I do love that video too.

Is This Worthwhile? It's Hard To Tell

Does It Go On For Much Too Long?
