00:04Topic 8 Writing a Villanelle

00:09A poem can be a collection of words that expresses feelings or ideas, sometimes with a specific

00:15meaning, sound, or rhythm.

00:18A villanelle is a structured French verse poem.

00:22The word villanelle comes from the Italian word villanelle, which means peasant.

00:29During the Renaissance, the villanella or villanzico were Italian and Spanish dance

00:34songs.

00:36French poets, who called their poems villanelle, did not write their poetry with any structure.

00:43Instead, they wrote about the ideal country life, which explored the human connection

00:48with nature or rustic themes.

00:51It wasn't until the 19th century the villanelle was defined as a structured form of poetry

00:57by the French poet Theodore de Bonneville.

01:01The first structured villanelle was written by a French poet named Jean Passerrat in 1606.

01:07Nowadays, some common themes for a villanelle are love, loss, time, seasons, and obsession.

01:19A villanelle is made up of 19 lines.

01:22These lines follow a strict structure of five tercets, three-line stanzas, followed

01:28by one quatrain, four-line stanza.

01:32Villanelles follow a specific rhyme pattern of ABA for the tercets and ABAA for the quatrain.

01:42Structure is how the words of a poem are organized.

01:45A stanza is a group of lines separated from other groups of lines by a blank line or indentation.

01:52A verse is a stanza that doesn't have a specific number of lines, but it all goes together

01:57and makes sense.

01:59A refrain is a line or group of lines regularly repeated in a poem, usually at the beginning

02:05or end of a poem.

02:08Let's take a look at one of the first villanelles ever written by French poet Jean Passerrat.

02:15This poem is called I Lost My Turtle Dove.

02:21I have lost my turtle dove.

02:23Isn't that her gentle coo?

02:25I will go find my love.

02:28Here you mourn your mated love.

02:30Oh God, I am mourning too.

02:33I have lost my turtle dove.

02:36If you trust your faithful dove, trust my faith is just as true.

02:41I will go and find my love.

02:45Plaintively you speak your love.

02:47All my speech is turned into, I have lost my turtle dove.

02:52Such a beauty was my dove.

02:55Other beauties will not do.

02:56I will go and find my love.

02:59Death, again entreated of, take one who is offered you.

03:05I have lost my turtle dove.

03:08I will go and find my love.

03:10Okay, let's look at the structure of this poem.

03:15The first line of the poem, I have lost my turtle dove, is repeated at the end of the

03:21second and fourth tercets as well as the third line of the quatrain.

03:26The third line of the poem, I will go and find my love, is repeated at the end of the

03:32third and fifth tercets.

03:34The ABA rhyme pattern for the tercets and ABAA rhyme scheme for the quatrain are underlined

03:43to help you see the pattern of a villanelle.

03:46Also notice that the words of the other lines follow the rhyming pattern.

03:52Now I will write my own villanelle poem.

03:57First I will need to brainstorm a theme for my poem.

04:01I will write about my lost puppy.

04:05Then I will need to think about the two lines that I want to repeat in my villanelle.

04:11These lines should focus on the theme of my poem.

04:15Next I will need to use rhyming words that follow the structure of ABA for the tercets

04:21and ABAA for the quatrain.

04:25Last I will need to put my words together for my readers.

04:30Let's try it.

04:33Before I start, there are several ways to plan out a poem.

04:37You can either make a list of words that describe the subject or theme of your poem,

04:42or you can create a mind map to help you organize your thoughts.

04:48Then you can plan out what words go together to create the perfect image of your subject

04:53in your reader's minds.

04:57The title of my poem will be, Where is my puppy?

05:03Where is my puppy?

05:04Is that her gentle woof?

05:06I must go and find my pup.

05:10I am lost without her.

05:12I will find my lost pup.

05:14Where is my puppy?

05:16I found her chew bone.

05:18I found her soft blanket.

05:20Where is my puppy?

05:22She must be hungry.

05:24She must feel alone.

05:26I must go and find my pup.

05:29Where would she have gone?

05:30She couldn't have gone far.

05:33Where is my puppy?

05:35She hasn't eaten lunch.

05:37Her water bowl is untouched.

05:39Hopefully she is okay.

05:40I must go and find my pup.

05:43I did it!

05:46I wrote a villanelle about my lost puppy.

05:50My poem has 19 lines that include 5 tercets and 1 quatrain.

05:56My poem also follows the ABA-ABAA pattern scheme.

06:03Now it's your turn.

06:07First you will need to brainstorm a theme for your poem.

06:11Then you will need to think about the two lines that you want to repeat in your villanelle.

06:17These lines should focus on the theme of your poem.

06:21Next you will need to use rhyming words that follow the structure of ABA for the tercets

06:27and ABAA for the quatrain.

06:31Next you will need to put your words together for your readers.
