Hopefully Never Again

A villanelle is a fixed form of poem, with strict rules around verse and line length, rhyming and repetition.

Here is a Villanelle, just for fun,
as if  life wasn't already tough enough.
Thank God it has been done.
 
How I wish I had not begun
rhyming is not easy stuff
Here is a Villanelle, just for fun.
 
In mid write I was glad I had no gun
wanted to be playing blind man's Bluff
Thank God it has been done.
 
Resting under a warming sun
life feels a lot less rough.
Here is a Villanelle, just for fun
 
This is a weird way to have fun
trying to create straight from the cuff
Thank God it is done.
 
Remind me never to do this again
not even every now and then.
Here is a Villanelle, just for fun
Thank God it has been done.
