The first line always goes right here You must choose well each clever word The third line's here - now, ain't that clear? The first lines now that will appear Rhyme with 1st stanza's first and third The first line always goes right here. All middle lines must rhyme, my dear, Although it may sound quite absurd The third line's here - now, ain't that clear? Five 3-line stanzas shall appear With rhymes in place as was inferred The first line always goes right here. One 4-line verse brings up the rear The proper style is now insured The third line's here - now, ain't that clear? So take it from the Balladeer Of villanelles you now have heard The first line always goes right here The third line's here - now, ain't that clear?

Oh good, I was wondering what these were. *giggling* now that I have printed this off maybe I can figure out how to do one. Thanks so very much. Much love to you from me. Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. http://path2riches.com |

Still feels like a child's hop-scotch game when the rules keep changing because a simple game got boring... but I think I'll annex...er, library this for future reference... just in case I get an itch to change the rules... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Balladeer: Nice Job! I don't always remember the "rules" for poems so this will be helpful in the future. I guess what I've heard about you is true. You are clever and a great poet. Glad we all have someone like you to learn from! ~Lisa~ ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |
