Come forward Villanelle ,forward be not shy.
Retiring in the shadows ,all this time.
For thy deserve thy place ,i`ll tell you why.

You have a beauty set as a Sonnet bye.
Be not coy or skittish,drink the wine !
Come forward Villanelle, forward be not shy.
~
Undemonstrative public exposure decry.
Nor shrinking violet ,ne`er avoid thy rhyme.
For thy deserve thy place ,i`ll tell you why.
~
Villanelles satisfy most poetic demands,to supply
And this shy form now with figures, so sublime.
Come forward Villanelle , forward be not shy.
~
Stand not aloof , bold superiority in your eye.
You in your very small corner and I in mine.
For thy deserve thy place , i`ll tell you why .
~
Watch high as Villanelles will start to fly.
You have the capability of prose most fine.
Come forward Villanelle, forward be not shy.
For thy deserve thy place , i`ll tell you why .
