http://www.baymoon.com/~ariadne/form/villanelle.htm
http://members.aol.com/lucyhardng/pointers/form.htm#forms3
http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/CraftOfPoetry/villanelle.html

The first source does say, “Do you have a feeling or idea that haunts you? Then the Villanelle may be the form you need.” and i think that’s something i caught. If i have this concept, but not a story or a picture, the structure may be extremely helpful in shaping it.
