So, this Villanelle is for the "joining a team or club" square on the Public Activities Card for Fresh Starts Bingo Fest, and nominally takes place in the Polychrome Heroics universe created by
ysabetwordsmith. You don't need to know much about that world to enjoy the poem, though it will help to know that SPOON (Super Power Organizational & Operational Nexus) is a mostly volunteer run organization that deals with people with super powers, with a heavy push for heroism. Kraken is a supervillain organization that does pretty well in making sure it's members are paid and happy, and have a way out if it's needed.
Full Moon Woes
a villanelle
I've heard many things about SPOON,
some good, some bad;
it's best not to decide to soon.
After a very strange full moon
I thought it best to see what options I had,
I've heard many things about SPOON.
My life is now a ruin
and for a support system, I'll be glad;
it's best not to decide too soon.
I'm not sure heroics is a boon
and I feared I've gone a touch mad;
I've heard many things about SPOON.
My soul for a mentor who won't swoon!
I'm beginning to think the black's not so bad,
it's best not to decide too soon.
Kraken sings such a different tune,
they make my feel a lot less sad.
I've heard many things about SPOON,
it's best not to decide too soon.
*one more note for those unfamiliar with this setting: Supervillains and other bad guys are said to be black hats or black capes, while superheroes and other good guys are white hats or white capes.
