It's a dull day, and my blah brain is short on inspiration. The right day for an exercise!
I happened on this villanelle by Andrew Hudgins, entitle "Villanelle with a Refrain from the
Wall Street Journal." Maybe the idea of finding some random refrain line will jump-start something.
Anybody game?
Here's a link to Hudgins's poem:
