Write a Villanelle
A villanelle is a nineteen-line poem with two repeating rhymes and two refrains. The form is made up of five tercets followed by a quatrain. The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the last lines of the succeeding stanzas; then in the final stanza, the refrain serves as the poem’s two concluding lines. (Ex. Dylan Thomas's "Do not go gentle into that goodnight") All topics are accepted.

Glitz And Glimmer A Dance In A Song

Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.

Butterfly floating in an angular twist.

Express yourself, make it strong.

Your heart is certain to go along.

Heart skips a beat, I'm sure you will not miss.

Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.

The position is everything, a stretch of the arm.

A swing of the head, sending a soft air kiss.

Express yourself, make it strong.

Make others join in, while you adjust the thong.

Do a silhouette, half bend and make a wish.

Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.

Never make a move that seems to be wrong.

Remake it, re-arrange it and put it on the list.

Express yourself, make it strong.

If all things fail, you did your best, no matter how long.

You never gave up or suffered any anguish.

Glitz and glimmer a dance in a song.

Express yourself, make it strong.
