Villanelle Is Often About Love

Villanelle is typically nineteen lines
lines six, twelve and eighteen are one again.
often about love, the romantic kind

You will find sentiment is never mined
from some of your less demonstrative kin
villanelle is typically nineteen lines

But a villanelle is a way to find
the softness within that makes people grin
often about love, the romantic kind

Three is nine, fifteen, and nineteen each time
gloriously rising out of the wind
villanelle is typically nineteen lines

A,B,A pattern of villanelle rhyme
sentimentally points out once again
often about love,  the romantic kind

Gently written in a poetic mind
angelic loving words are your best friend
villanelle is typically nineteen lines
often about love, the romantic kind
