Villanelle

Squirrels are cool
Even though they act like fools
When they run into the street like kamikazes

Wise squirrels avoid the streets
Young squirrels should stay in school
Squirrels are cool.

All squirrels are sweet
Except the one that bit my mom, cruel
When they run into the street like kamikazes

Squirrels hate beets
Because it makes them drool
Squirrels are cool

Acorns are the best treats
Squirrels will duel
When they run into the street like kamikazes

A squirrel fleets
Away, into a shadow pool
Squirrels are cool
When they run into the street like kamikazes

  1. Kamikazes? Very creative analogy there. This poem was quite creative as a whole, but I feel that it has the attention span of a five year old, as the world revolving around a squirrel's life is changing every five seconds. I would suggest not to let the rhyme scheme control what you're writing about, since it seems to be happening in this case. I enjoyed reading this poem, though!
