    hey, well i'm going to enter my villanelle "i know you not whence you are". your prompt talks about the risk of blooming, however, my poem, talks about the risk of not blooming. however to understand the poem, you need to know what the type of my blooming in the villanelle is the truth, to search for the truth, or do nothing at all and reap the punishment. its an extremely religious poem, and may be seen as a, "your going to go to hell if you dont. . ." . but i ask you to have an open mind, and see past that.

    hope you like.

    Let My Bud be Burst

    Let me make erotic measures
    Let me open all my treasures

    Let me moan-&-groan
    Let me sing in sinful tones

    I may be cursed
    But let my bud be burst
