@Sharon1407 - You post it in the thread here: Event 10: Write a Villanelle :)
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.
-EternalRain

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Out of a random flash of inspiration/seeing that this was going to be a contest, I wrote a villanelle a few days ago. It's not a pretty one (i.e. I need to edit it heavily), but can I submit it for this contest?
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

We would prefer you post something original to the time this event has been made, however it isn't against the rules.

You can change your submission though, so maybe submit it and then change it if you write a new one.

Are slant rhymes cool?

They can be if they are well done. Are they well done or should you just rework the hard rhyme?

Villanelles are more difficult than I expected! restarting my poem for the third time now. :D
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return
