How do we know a Villanelle when we see one?
How do we write a Villanelle?  -
Well, it’s definitely one of my favorite poetic formats&#8230; The Villanelle’s lyrical repetitions make the poem sing to me? All right, so now we know it’s a specific form of poetry, but what makes it unique?

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the late 1990’s there were very few internet sites that were devoted to online writers and their crafts. What a different world it’s become in such a short new-millennium decade, hasn’t it?
