An interesting Villanelle. I have to admire people who can conform to form and rhyme schemes - the rebellious part of me often goes off at a tangent and ruins it all.

I was thinking of opening an additional link to Unicorn for some of the oriental forms - haiku, senryu, tanka etc but could be expanded to include a sonnet page etc. What do you think? Or is it best to have a mix on the main page? Or perhaps a showcase of examples together with the rules? Rambling on outloud here - and Al if you read - let me know what you think.
