Dylan Thomas' "Do not go gentle into that good night" is a very well known
example of a villanelle. His is written in iambic pentameter, mine is
obviously not.
.
Also, don't expect this to be amazing poetry. It was written for fun and
uh, yeah.
.
Rent is, of course, not mine. I have also referenced a song by Matchbox
Twenty, "Bent." Not mine either. There's also a line in there that's very
Yoda-esque. Yoda also does not belong to me. There, that ought to cover
everything... Oh, and Parkay™ is butter, of course.

We must be aware of how our time is spent

Next to the building was a city of tents
They're pissed at Benny and Mr. Grey

Mimi says "no day but today"
We must be aware of how our time is spent

Collins and Angel found love a strange way
Joanne and Maureen together might stay
