I swore I never would write a villanelle
I promised myself I would never be lured into that trap
But Vocal has caused me to break my word and fail
*
All this rhyming is a total hell
I don’t want to make a rap
I swore I never would write a villanelle
*
Oh, can you not tell
I would much rather take a nap
But Vocal has caused me to break my word and fail
*
No bull am I trying to sell
And I am not begging for a frappe
I swore I never would write a villanelle
*
I tried so hard not to get on that boat and sail
Vocal knows just how to tempt you or make you look like a sap
But Vocal has caused me to break my word and fail
*
This first poem has driven the nail
Soon, I will have to draw you a map
I swore I never would write a villanelle
But Vocal has caused me to break my word and fail

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

Excellent!!! 💐👍🏽🏅
Good job MC😊💕
I agree, but I know I won't be lured in. Too many rules to remember. I love how you threw it back in their faces and they gave you Top Story anyway. Well done you.
I haven’t even looked into the challenge yet.. I just know there is a bit of repetition with the structure. Still good of us to give it a go! 😊
Brilliant! Hear you on this! I swore it too...yet here I am thinking about it 😁
