Ok, so the assignment was to write a villanelle (wiki it if you don't know what it is) Specifics: there is a rhyme scheme and a refrain pattern. 2 Refrains actually. It's also supposed to be in pentameter, but it doesn't have to be iambic as long as I'm consistent. Also, this is supposed to be a draft, emphasis on the NEEDS TO BE EDITED part.
Kraken
Beast of the underworld, his belly purrs
Waking, rising under the aqua route,
From the depths of the sea, the kraken stirs.
More than food, his ache for revenge, it spurs
Him to ever greater speeds. Wicked brute,
Beast of the underworld, his belly purrs.
Rip tear maim devour kill, nothing deters
The rage of a behemoth in pursuit.
From the depths of the sea, the kraken stirs.
He comes only for us, whose blame he infers
From the gaping hole inside of his gut,
Beast of the underworld, his belly purrs.
Mother Earth’s child has come to protect hers.
Far too long have their cries been all too mute.
From the depths of the sea, the kraken stirs.
Once every thousand years, this event occurs.
Now that it has begun our pleas are moot.
Beast of the underworld, its belly purrs
From the depths of the sea, the kraken stirs.
