Kindly ignore my harsh rapport,
I've taken more than I can bear,
I write, hoping to close the door.
Made to sleep on a marble floor
Best I did was shiver and swear,
Kindly ignore my harsh rapport.
I took advantage of the poor,
Received a healthy sailor's share,
I write, hoping to close the door.
Temptation, like a dancing whore,
Mesmerized by her seductive stare,
Kindly ignore my harsh rapport.
Intoxicated, wanting more,
Emboldened by a brief affair,
I write, hoping to close the door.
My regrets seep from every pore,
But poetry can't clear the air,
Kindly ignore my harsh rapport,
I write, hoping to close the door.
Villanelle: The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the last lines of the succeeding stanzas; then in the final stanza, the refrain serves as the poem's two concluding lines.
