Napowrimo: today’s (optional) prompt. Take a look at Kyle Dargan’s “Diaspora: A Narcolepsy Hymn.” This poem is a loose villanelle that uses song lyrics as its repeating lines (loose because it doesn’t rhyme). Your challenge is, like Dargan, to write a poem that incorporates song lyrics – ideally, incorporating them as opposing phrases or refrains.
It's engaging and interesting to try so many different forms. I am learning so much along the process. Two of my favourite villanelles are Elizabeth Bishop's "One Art" (which is mentioned in the Napowrimo post) - which I first came across in the movie, In Her Shoes and Dylan Thomas' "Do not Go Gentle into That Good Night".
