[Villanelle] I write

I write and write and write
and then post it on the board
hoping this just might

Unmindful of the slight
No matter, if ignored
I write and write and write

Don’t feel sorry at my plight
here is one more for record
hoping this just might

Chances are still bright
Till the time I can afford
I write and write and write

I will try again tonight
with blessings of good Lord
hoping this just might

I wish I would get it right
Before I and you get bored
I write and write and write
hoping this just might
