The Rubber Room
I'm stuck inside this villanelle
( I should've tried a triolet)
there's no peace in these foreign dells
I'm stuck inside this villanelle,
I'm confused now, it's hard to tell...
a Villanelle or roundelay?
am I inside a villanelle
Sonnet or some DAMN triolet!
Released, free from my villanelle
( madness can sneak up day by day)
the stress and strain, a telling bell,
Release Thyself From Villanehell!
A little voice inside me yells
" a habit forming drug, they say"
am I stuck inside villanelles
Sonnet or, too far gone to say?
I'm in a dark and rubber room
it's peaceful now, my screaming ceased,
I lie quietly in my womb
as quiet as the coming tomb,
Inside my head a nagging tune
some octosylabical beast
it has me crooning to the moon
inside my head this nagging tune.
