What is the structure for a villanelle? I think you posted it here before, somewhere, but I can't find it ...

I'd like to try my hand at something besides sonnets!

Thanks,

Nocht

If you could email me, I've some more info for you - aside from using a consistent meter, the rhyme scheme on a villanelle is:
a1-b-a2
a-b-a1
a-b-a2
a-b-a1
a-b-a2
a-b-a1-a2
Have a happy day!!
