19 lines where only 13 are needed,
teaching villanelles - A1 to A2 -
making a feast out of fish:

serving up miracles to multitudes.
hocus pocus to defy physics,
19 lines where only 13 are needed -

such unlucky superstition overlaid
on a cruel form for vegetarians
at a feast of only fish.

a bucket of sea water evaporated
until only crystals remain:
19 lines where only 13 are needed.

how do you teach landlocked students
to write something fresh,
to make a feast out of fish

wriggling on the dock - eviscerate it,
leaving only the essentials -
19 lines where only 13 are needed
is a feast to fish.
