Villanelles make me curse....There really is nothing worse!

Just a fair warning.....

This is bad...bad...poetry.

But for the sake of the blog....here ya go. I might also add that after two hours, and 17 refrains later, I opted for using a Norah Jones lyric as my first refrain. So this poem is inspired by Norah Jones new album, which I highly recommend!








I Gotta Get Ya Out Of My Head

I gotta get ya out of my head-
can't sleep, can't eat
But remember the words you said.

I wasn't mad, I just went to bed
I didn't think it was sweet,
I gotta get ya out of my head.

You didn't read what I read,
practice deceit,
and remember the words you said.

What an awful ground to tread
'pick up the pace feet'
I have to get you out of my head.

I'm sorry if you were misled,
I didn't cheat,
I remembered the words you said.

After all no one's dead,
just hit delete,
So I can get ya out of my head,
and stop remembering the words you said.
