A/N: So, I got REALLY bored in science today, and wrote this. Don't know how good it is in terms of a villanelle (sp?), but my friends thought it was funny. Twilight fans, please don't hate me. ^^

--

The worst thing in the world is Twilight.
It's just an all around bad book.
Even God hates it with all his might.
--
What kind of guy sparkles in the sunlight?
At the horrible prose I can hardly look.
The worst thing in the world is Twilight.
--
It gives a whole new meaning to shining knight,
But it's definitely not good enough to be a book.
Even God hates it with all his might.
--
What kind of vampires can venture into the light?
And to make it worse, they can't even cook!
The worst thing in the world is Twilight.
--
The protagonists have been in too many a fight,
And too many lives, Edward took.
Even God hates it with all his might.
--
Just reading it ruined my eyesight,
And I keep it locked away in a dark little nook.
The worst thing in the world is Twilight.
Even God hates it with all his might.

Hehe, this was nice.

I think you captured the style of a villanelle nicely, rhyming and repeating without it seeming too forced. It's not the greatest villanelle ever though, as most of your word choice is really flat. Oh, and there was one minor thing.

The worst thing in the world is Twilight.


You might want to chance 'thing' to 'book' because there are so many things in this world that are worse then twilight.

Otherwise, nice job!

"Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror"

Yes, Twilight is good...no doubt about it but its highly overrated which is hiding the work of other great and influential writers.

Greetings I'm LastPaladin. I'll be honest right away I loved this. I'm a harsh reviewer but to be honest I can't find anything to complain about. The rhythm is beautiful and what said is so so true. You really have such potential. True not a fan of formula poems. But I love how this one is.

Be flattered I rarely star anything unless it's really good.

Can't wait to see more!
You poor take courage
You rich take care
This earth was made a common treasury
For everyone to share
All things in common
All people one
We come in peace
The orders came to cut them down

AMEN!!!! :lol:
Charlie Bucket: You can eat the grass?
Willy Wonka: Of course you can! Everything in this room is eatable, even *I'm* eatable! But that is called "cannibalism," my dear children, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.
