Let us gather and smoke a little weed
by the campfire flickering its flame
You must remember to save all the seed.
Seeds grow good pot this is true indeed
Take a toke watch the sparks swirl you insane
Let us gather and smoke a little weed.
Let if free your mind with uncommon speed
Hold it in deep, now nothing is the same
You must remember to save all the seed.
We have a pound, no need to smoke with greed
We’ve no energy for fortune or fame.
Let us gather and smoke a little weed
Free your mind and your ass will follow freed
Have you come and then gone as if you came?
You must remember to save all the seed.
No use reflecting on any past deed.
So don’t worry the pot will take all the blame
Let us gather and smoke a little weed.
You must remember to save all the seed.

A bit of last-minute coaching.
This message goes out to all entrants:
Finalists as shown on the contest page are preliminary choices.
With three days left before contest closes, I’d like to take a moment to remind all entrants; a villanelle is a metered form, not just a ‘rhythmic’ form, and meter is a prime portion of the judging in this contest! Meter is not just “how many beats in a line” but a set pattern of stressed versus unstressed beats.
While no particular meter is specified for the villanelle, it IS crucial that the meter be even. Whether iambic pentameter, anapestic trimeter, double-dactyllic meter, whatever meter, each line needs to at least loosely follow the same metric pattern as the others.
Another strong facet if judging in this contest is demonstrating an adaptive use of the repeated lines; the best villanelles can’t be achieved by making the repeat lines sentences or independent clauses, but by using them in varied meanings as different parts of different sentences. I refer you to Dylan Thomas’ “Do not go gentle into that good night” for a fine example of how this is done. (For those unfamiliar with the work, I’ve now included it in the text of the Contest Page at http://allpoetry.com/contest/2401901 ) Please revisit the Contest Page…more information has been provided for your use in these last three days.
If enough of you feel the need, contact me. For as few as (oh, lemme think… ) six requests, I’d be willing to stretch the contest by an additional five days so you can present your best work. In the interests of keeping what anonymity remains (glower!) please make those requests on the contest page, NOT by IM!
