A Villanelle
A chapter in the book Little Billy
Twisted Faces in hiding places.
by keimosobie
Twisted faces in hiding places.
I still hear the sound of the screaming ground. Rain poured down and washed all traces. Reality's paces tie imagination's laces. Mother's tears surround as they fall down. Twisted faces in hiding places. Buried on a desk in a stack of cold cases. If I were caught he would have been found Rain poured down and washed away all traces. Now I'm not in God's good graces. Fear overwhelms my heart all 'round. Twisted faces in hiding places. A child has thoughts he easily replaces. I can't go back from lies I'm bound. Rain poured down and washed away all traces. I somehow covered all my bases. Mother's great prince could have been crowned. Twisted faces in hiding places. Rain poured down and washed away all traces. |

Real or imagined? A villanelle has only two rhyme sounds. The first and third lines of the first stanza are rhyming refrains that alternate as the third line in each successive stanza and form a couplet at the close. A villanelle is nineteen lines long, consisting of five tercets and one concluding quatrain.
