Villanelle: A writer's rant
Why bother pentameter?
Why must ink stain paper?
Why have I nought better?
Than be a story-teller;
Why am I a writer?
While men earn and prosper,
I am just a word-monger;
Why must ink stain paper?
I may be a great master
Or just a poetaster
Why am I a writer?
Why mess with rhyme and meter,
With plotline and character?
Why must ink stain paper?
Why not live a quieter
Life of peace that's better?
Why must ink stain paper?
Why am I a writer?
