Teacher tasked us to write a simple villanelle that doesnt necessarily need strict rhythm, but needs to have good imagery about an emotion pre-chosen. Would be great if someone could suggest something to change or add for better imagery, also critique would be helpful.
Villanelle:
I don't know what i want, but it's not this.
Time is all spent.
Wasted times vanish in a glimpse.
Everything is now in small bits.
Fragments from then.
I don't know what i want, but it's not this.
Times i used to reminisce.
Everything has went.
Wasted times vanish in a glimpse.
Nothing matches, it all conflicts.
It wasn't like this, but now it's the present.
I don't know what i want, but it's not this.
All i see is an eclipse.
Forgotten the antidepressants.
Wasted times vanish in a glimpse.
Hollow like addicts.
This feels pleasant.
I don't know what i want, but it's not this.
Wasted times vanish in a glimpse.
