Thus a Villanelle has 19 lines. </li><li>Lines may be of any length. </li><li>The Villanelle has two rhymes. The rhyme scheme is <em>aba</em>, with the same end-rhyme for every first and last line of each tercet and the final two lines of the quatrain. </li><li>Two of the lines are repeated: <ol><li>The first line of the first stanza is repeated as the last line of the second and the fourth stanzas, and as the second-to-last line in the concluding quatrain. </li><li>The third line of the first stanza is repeated as the last line of the third and the fifth stanzas, and as the last line in the concluding quatrain. </li></ol> </li><li>Thus the pattern of line-repetition is as follows: <p> <table align="CENTER" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" frame="box"> <tbody><tr><td class="equalspace"> A1 b A2 - Lines in first tercet.<br />a b A1 - Lines in second tercet.<br />a b A2 - Lines in third tercet.<br />a b A1 - Lines in fourth tercet.<br />a b A2 - Lines in fifth tercet.<br />a b A1 A2 - Lines in final quatrain.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></p></li></ul><br /><strong>CRETE - 1941 AND 1971</strong> by <a href="http://www.baymoon.com/%7Eariadne/poets/j.zimmerman.poems.htm">J. Zimmerman</a>.<br /><br /> <p>At the village entrance, the glass casket, full<br /> of human bones, meets the traveler to Crete.<br /> The moon gleams like a skull upon each skull.<br /><br /> Fishermen (fathers, husbands, or sons of these sorrowful<br /> fragments) ferried to ships the Allies in retreat.<br /> At the village entrance, the glass casket, full<br /><br /> of ghosts of women and children torn fearful<br /> from cottages, remembers the Nazi military elite.<br /> The moon gleams like a skull upon each skull,<br /><br /> upon slim bones from arms that once could lull<br /> babies, and upon bones from babies feet.<br /> At the village entrance, the glass casket, full<br /><br /> of thighbones, commemorates those too slow to haul<br /> themselves into the hills. In the evening heat,<br /> the moon gleams like a skull upon each skull.<br /><br /> Three decades later, German sailors, dull<br /> to history, laugh together jostling on a seat<br /> at the village entrance - the glass casket.
