The villanelle.

And I've been working so hard on not having obsessive thoughts...
But right now, there is only one thing I care about and that is ending the semester and starting my summer! Writing a villanelle was pretty hard. All those rhyming words. Okay, so here's is my first attempt to write a villanelle knowingly.

Exciting things are close at hand
My very best friend lives overseas
Her skin glowingly tanned

I'm so ready to go to Thailand
Not one feeling of unease
Exciting things are close at hand

Horizons will surely expand
In thick sweet equator breeze
And my skin glowingly tanned

The language I won't understand
Air full of spicy food's potpourri
Exciting things are close at hand

We will go the beach, sit in the sand
Eat so many lemon icees
My skin all glowingly tanned

Negative thoughts surely banned
Spend lazy days as I please
Exciting things are close at hand
With my skin glowingly tanned

There. It's surely no "Mad Girl's Love Song" but it will do.

  1. Hey, little out there is "Mad Girl's Long Song." This is pretty good, though.
