~This Form~
(Paradelle)



What  can I say to you  more?
What  can I say to you more?
This form  for me is so much fun
This form for me is so much fun
To you what more can I say
So much fun for me this form is…

Afraid I am already addicted to this
Afraid I am already  addicted to this
Playing with words from the heart they come
Playing with words from the heart they come
Already to  this afraid I am  addicted
From the heart playing-they come from the heart

Hooked on verses  of every  kind
Hooked on verses  of every kind
Toying with words, moving the lines
Toying with words, moving the lines
Of every kind hooked on verses
Moving the lines-toying with words

To you this form  say more
With words and verses of every kind
Already addicted moving the lines
From the heart  hooked on to this
Afraid they already come playing
With so much fun.

~Authors notes:


The Paradelle is a modern poetic form invented by Billy Collins as a parody of the villanelle. Billy Collins claimed that the paradelle was a difficult, fixed form consisting of four six-line stanzas with a repetitive pattern invented in eleventh century France, and the press believed the story and ran with it.  Due to the extensive publicity, the Paradelle has made its rounds in the poetic community.  Even though the form was invented as a hoax, the Paradelle has taken on a life of its own.  It is still a difficult form, nonetheless, to practice which can be fun and
rewarding even though the inventor may not have intended it to be.
