Expressly, evening shadows fell
Immense images besieged my sight
As I composed this villanelle.
Forsaken was the soft dinner bell
Receding in an anxious fright
Expressly, evening shadows fell.
As I oft desire to excel
Ingenious words to swiftly write
As I composed this villanelle.
Compressed for time, did I misspell
Or Something never did feel right
Expressly, evening shadows fell.
A sudden awesome tempting smell
Distracts me far away from sight
As I composed this villanelle.
No longer do I wish to dwell
Or wish to think about this plight
Expressly, evening shadows fell
As I composed this villanelle.
