Villanelle contest

[Todd]

Hi Jack. Thanks for the comments and grammar scrub (I didn't do my typical OCD 35 revisions before posting). I'm looking forward to trying a modern version of one of these. Very cool prompt! I think the trick for a villanelle as I think about it (not sure if mine here does this) is to the refrain should probably be structured in such a way as to advance the poem in a non-repetitious way (which is tough since villanelles thrive on using repetition). Well, you've given me an excuse to test that out.

Best to you as always,

Todd
