[Artemisia] Villanelles and Sage Advice

[Stephanae Baker]

I've never seen modern, mundane-themed poetry in the Sage. Have I  
been missing something?

Surely I'd have to document: villanelle is a French word from the the  
Italian villanella, from the Latin, etc. The first villanelle in  
modern form was written by Jean Passerat in the 16th century and so  
on and so forth. I don't wanna!!!! Well, not very much. Unless  
someone would read it.
