William Krell’s Villanelle (Scrabble Score 142):
It Can’t Get Any Worse Than a Poem Titled Krell Gorn at the Zoo
On the axe, Fae jotted a deft weld
Zee at the Zoo signed a Gorn navy pact
Agouti axed a hen with a hard sell
Does a tree make a noise like a bell
A silent ring in a forest is a fact
On the axe, Fae jotted a deft weld
Gorn of the lizard race beat up a Krell
In loud gaud the rubber suit lacked tact
Agouti axed a hen with a hard sell
Green blood on the axe formed a gooey gel
Heil the orca bum sang, but failed to act
On the axe, Fae jotted a deft weld
The axe was sharp, Fae made an easy kill
A baby Krell head plopped into the sack
Agouti axed a hen with a hard sell
Note: Gorn, the lizard, was readied to geld
Zoo Krell thumbed through the gaud of evil pact
Agouti axed a hen with a hard sell
On the axe, Fae jotted a deft weld
Latifa’s Gothic Villanelle (Scrabble Score 185):
Blind Wind Seeking the way
Lo, the blind wind sets the way
Rattling its stolen gaud
Their fingers deft and cold as day
Over loam and broken clay
It sang again of pact and fraud
Lo, the blind wind sets the way
Past tree where danced the darting fae
The shadow murmurs the hidden fault
Their fingers deft and cold as day
It darts where axe fall marred the way
Past field and wold churchyard broad
Lo, the blind wind sets the way
Here men with bank notes faces grey
Their cracked hands dark with broken sod
Their fingers deft and cold as day
Their lifetimes jotted in the fray
Wait in their pints, forget their fraud
Lo, the blind wind sets the way
Their fingers deft and cold as day
Ahmed Sang a Desert into a Villanelle No Oar Has Dipped (Scrabble Score 246):
He did write a poem, which he promised a week ago to email. His scrabble villanelle wasn't bad. It was his typical style of using English words to sound like foreign words by the context in which they were arranged. I should have insisted through his impatience to write it down like I did the last time. After all, scrabble poetry is Ahmed's invention even though I thought about it a decade before I ever met him.
If you want, you can try a Villanelle too. Refer to the previous post for directions on how to do it. Leave your Villanelle as comment and the geographical location of where you are peaking into this zone from.
