Not only is this Villanelle an answer to my own challenge, it's also an hommage to "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America.
Millions of peaches, this peach is on me.
Tell me you can eat a peach for hours,
Oh what a happy peach girl I will be!
There's no fur like other peaches you see,
It stays that way by magical powers.
Millions of peaches, this peach is on me.
My lips will rise in a smile of pure glee,
When to win my peach you bring me flowers.
Oh what a happy peach girl I will be!
My peach likes to spend much time by the sea,
and likes to play out in springtime showers.
Millions of peaches, this peach is on me!
A man with a peach, I like to see.
Tell me you can eat a peach for hours,
Oh what a happy peach girl I will be!
If this wee poem makes you come to me,
When I say from my ivory towers,
"Millions of peaches, this peach is on me!"
Oh what a happy peach girl I will be!
My Challenge: Villanelle - What do you think?
Good Villanelle, but let me just point out you are lucky that you use metaphors or this likely wouldn't have made it though the YA filter. Nice whimsical heat here.
