Katherine Braithwaite Poet Villanelle

Writing Poems

How to write a poem  that  gives you joy
Write one line on those you once adored
A villanelle’s a song the French employ

Write a poem  that gets us  damn annoyed
I recall I may said all this before
How to write a poem  that  gives you joy

Writing poems makes me  get very high
I vowed to love a  man forever more
A villanelle’s a song the French employ

If I could sell then someone else could buy  
I want a man  but, if not one, then four 
How to write a poem  that  gives you joy

Writing down the letters  in alloy
I wanted to be loved but it’s a chore
A villanelle’s a song the French abhor

I saw a symbol on  a heavy door
Do not  enter ,God knows you’re a bore!
How to write a poem  that  gives you joy
A villanelle’s a song ,the French   destroy
