A Town Named Discontent by ~Synyard:iconSynyard:



There exists a town named Discontent.
They think they are being treated unfair.
From miles away you can hear their lament.

You see, there has been a mild case of misrepresent;
The women complain about child care.
There exists a town named Discontent.

The men can not make one red cent.
Their recent crop is rotten pear.
From miles away you can hear their lament.

The depressed children can not pitch a tent
For nearby their campground is a bear's lair.
There exists a town named Discontent.

The nearby towns do not know what to think of this event.
A place of this type is so rare.
From miles away you can hear their lament.

They cannot be wavered from their self-torment;
They are left to wallow in their dispair.
There exists a town named Discontent.
From miles away you can hear their lament.

Author's Comments

Our homeword was to write a villanelle about an unhappy person/group of people.

I think mine is pretty darn good.

I'm proud of it.

EDIT:
After class today, I found that I have one of the worst ones.
Whatever, you know. At least I did it.

I'm proud that I wrote a poem that isn't complete crap.

That's kind of depressing. Don't get me wrong-- I like it, especially the part about how the men can't make any monery (imagine that! No one in a whole town making any money; that's the stuff really good novels are made of). But the place just seems really really awful.

We were supposed to write a poem about a sad or unhappy person/group of people.

Mine was humorous compared to other people's poems.

God, mine was the worst, too.

Oakley's poem was better than mine, Terrance's poem was better than mine, and even Bradley Mitchell's poem was better than mine.

And Brittney Hill had the best one of all.
Her's was great.
It was called Tobacco and Peppermints.
