I love my creative writing class so much. I wouldn’t have been able to come up with so many pieces of poetry for Phantom of the Opera if I didn’t have this class. Yeah. Today we did a group poem called a Villanelle. These poems consist of two sentences that get repeated throughout the poem and can rhyme, but don’t have to. I used the idea of Music of the Night for this piece and even though the two lines aren’t exact lines they work really well. So let’s see what you guys think.

Credit is giving to the four other people who sit in my row in class.

Once again the line breaks are needed.

Music of the Night

---

Listen with me to the music of the night

Unique and creative, new every time

And make my song take flight.

---

Feet tap to the new rhythm feeling the vibrant energy

A small grin from time to time

Listen with me to the music of the night.

---

Dance the night away

Against the candle’s glow

And make my song take flight.

---

Filled with emotion, radiating out

Captivating everyone as they move about it’s quite a sight

Listen with me to the music of the night

---

Put your arms around and hold me tight

Yeah, that’s right

And make my song take flight.

---

All I can say is I love you

I wish to spend every moment with you

Listen with me to the music of the night

And make my song take flight.

So what did you think of this one? The first and third line of the first stanza were the lines I put down and then as a group my row filled in the other blanks and I think it fits in really well with how Erik and Christine feel for each other. Maybe I should think of some Pierre and Lotte poetry.
