Villanelle!

Poems are very difficult to write
It is hard to think of things to put down
It is impossible to get it right

I'll stay up for hours even at night
Dawn or dusk or with a circus and clown
Poems are very difficult to write

For most people all they need is a light
For me, I need the help of the whole town
It is impossible to get it right

I will wait and wait until I have light
Then I will type without a single sound
Poems are very difficult to write

Now I will lie here with my great boy hound
For he is my friend I love with all might
It is impossible to get it right

So as the poem begins to see light
I will lay down, will not make a loud sound
Poems are very difficult to write
It is impossible to get it right
