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")

PĘRIL.
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
See the Sage pour the drink.
O, o say hope you get better.
Carefully I observe the philosopher,
Who makes sure to ev’r think.
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
On folks, lads~ ‘n’ lassies- move closer
Come one, all & remember to wear pink.
O, o say hope you get better.
Here we go, search for the grater
Someone pass the cheese, it’s near the sink—
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
Ghouls! heading toward us, where’s our leader??
Children gather to hide now, go past the brink;
O, o say hope you get better.
what happened to it, where’s the ladder?
Okay, don’t spill the ink.
Look, what’s ov’r yonder?
O, o say hope you get better.
