Tristan's Torment - The Villanelle Of The Butterfly Tristan couldn't stop thinking about the butterfly It was just so thin and daring Never had he known anything so dry It's morning, Tristan encountered a butterfly so wry He found himself feeling rather overbearing Tristan couldn't stop thinking about the butterfly Later, Tristan was spooked by an eye He tried to focus on a meringue Never had he known anything so dry Charlotte tried to distract him with a fly Said his mind had become too wearing Tristan couldn't stop thinking about the butterfly Tristan decided to do something high The butterfly was like a toxic childbearing spider Never had he known anything so spry Tristan nosedived like an intense oh, my His mind became dangerously raring, Tristan couldn't stop thinking about the butterfly Never had he known anything so dry 4/20/19 written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
