villenelle

5 tercets
1 quartrain

1. line 1 rhyme with line 3
2. end with line 1
3. end with line 3
4. end with lime 1
5. end with line 3 
6. lines 1 and 3 become lines 3 and 4
7. lines 2 in every stanza rhyme 

e.g  do not go gentle into the good night rage rage against the dying light 

the art of losing isn't hard to master
... their loss is no disaster 
none of these will bring disaster
it wasn't a disaster
it may look like disaster 
------
need a super 1st line and 
a last word of the third line

line 1: sent/ went/ scent/ meant/ reinvent
line 3: present 

I'd like to present 
nothing better than the present
waiting for present to be past and future to be present 
who needs a present 
let me present
