Just A Whim (A Villanelle Exercise)

Rating: 3.0


I want to clear my mind of him
To empty my heart for good
Or could this be just a whim

As time goes by, the light grows dim
I’m no longer in the mood
I want to clear my mind of him

I want to be rid of him
No need to be misunderstood
Or could this be just a whim

I’m filled to the brim
Nothing is as it should
I want to clear my mind of him

The chances are quite slim
To be complete, what’s the likelyhood
Or could this be just a whim

It’s all getting quite grim
I need to be understood
I want to clear my mind of him
Maybe, maybe this is just a whim

What an interesting form of villanelle and so well written. I enjoyed it. Read mine - Mother Dear, Oh Mother Dear - Adeline
