We provide the following information as an archive. About We are looking for poems about the things—people, scenery, lost puppies and cockatoos, rogue planets and shady vampires, used car salesmen and Hollywood actresses—that you love! All poems must be in a traditional villanelle format— with allowances for minor creative variations. In fact, we want you to be creative. If you send us a villanelle about your lovable cat, dog (or cockatoo), it had better be good!
