This was done for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge<\/a>. \u00a0Our topic this week was what makes us happy, and writers are asked to create a new format to write their poem in. \u00a0I chose an old new form developed on the CPC a few years ago called the Villanuke or Ukanelle, which combines the 7-5-7 \u00a0triplet of the Ukiah with the Villanelle’s six stanza format.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

NEWTS CAN\u2019T WIN<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunshine brightens any day
\n for everyone.
\n Except perhaps for a newt.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re feeling sad and blue,
\n if sky is blue too,
\n sunshine brightens any day.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Lollipops are a sweet treat;
\n a real mood lifter.
\n Except perhaps for a newt.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Rainbows always make me smile,
\n once again proving,
\n sunshine brightens any day.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Newts live under rocks and logs.
\n Rainbows create joy,
\n except perhaps for a newt.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, newts can\u2019t
\n see. They are quite blind.
\n Sunshine brightens any day
\n except perhaps for a newt.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
