Art Noveau

A villanelle beginning with the line, ‘The art of (subject) isn’t hard to master’.

The art of writing isn’t hard to master

Most written forms you’ll find are child’s play

Apart from villanelles: they spell disaster!

To find a word that rhymes with ghetto blaster

May tax the brain but all will be okay,

The art of writing isn’t hard to master,

The simple forms will get you writing faster,

Try poems, prose, try anything I’d say

Apart from villanelles: they spell disaster!

Write limericks about some potty pastor

Or sonnets on the merry month of May,

The art of writing isn’t hard to master.

The blank page waits as white as alabaster

For want of any writing to display

Apart from villanelles: they spell disaster!

The power of the written word is vaster

And mightier than the sword in every way

The art of writing isn’t hard to master

Apart from villanelles: they spell disaster!
