I must ruin this land
Introduce an apocalyptic crusade
This is the world I demand
Power none can withstand
My conviction cannot be swayed
I must ruin this land
An apocalpyse at my command
A primal demise begins to invade
This is the world I demand
Nothing could be as grand
Meteors, fire, and tornados cascade
I must ruin this land
My flame must expand
Destruction and death become a parade
This is the world I demand
No one could understand
An unavoidable fate impossible to evade
I must ruin this land
This is the world I demand
Should have included an edge warning, sheesh. Yes another apocalypse bringer poem what a surprise, this time in the form of a Villanelle. Before you ask “what is a villanelle?” here.
A villanelle is, from what this google article I found says, a poem comprised of 19 lines and 6 stanzas. A villanelle follows an ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA rhyming pattern (all A’s have to rhyme, all B’s have to rhyme). Additionally you also have to repeat line 1 for lines 6, 12, and 18 while and line 3 for lines 9, 15, and 19. All while having those repeated lines carry some meaning, which I personally think I failed by kind of “cheating it” since they don’t really add to the poem itself but, well, repeat what I said but eh, maybe I will retry this. I have to say it was tedious though, after all there are not a whole lot of words that are like “demonstration” and have literally a million god damn rhymes
I don’t think this is my favorite poem nor do I even think it’s good but I did spend like 2 hours writing it. Since I was mostly working on the structure the actual poem itself is rather lackluster and is just a wholehearted expression of my eternal edgy desire to see nothing but the demise of the world.
Like with all my other poems I didn’t really proof read all that much, I did make sure to do it here a bit more since I need to make sure my lines are correct, but I am tired and my eyes hurt and I may have missed something, so fucking murder me for that because an eternal slumber would make me less tired.
Overall pretty mid imo but hey I hope someone out there likes it
