Catalyst Asshat
Often times assholes will be our greatest inspirations. Write about a total asinine jerk who's tickled your rancor enough to make you write instead of kill them.

Write a Villanelle Poem
The villanelle has nineteen lines, with a very specific rhyme and repetition pattern. The lines are broken up into five tercets (three line stanzas) followed by a quatrain (four line stanza). The rhyme scheme is aba aba aba aba aba abaa which means there are only two rhymes. "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop is very famous and beautiful example of a villanelle. Poems should follow these strict rules to be considered for this challenge.
