When I'm obsessing over something.. it is time to write a villanelle. I believe the repetition helps to create a feeling of either obsession or desperation. If you have an obsessive sounding sonnet couplet, you can probably make that into a villanelle. In fact.. I've never tried that before.. it just occured to me. I'll go try that now.

Wonderful poem David. I've never tried to write a Villanelle although I've seen you and Ronberge both write them....nice style. Maybe one day I'll try. Thanks for the inspiration. Sincerely, Mary
