If this *Villanelle* is to star in a mini-story we compose, then we need to give her a NAME!

A would think that a Villanelle is an "it", not a she.
Maybe we can gather in a NAVE and sing our poetry.

The first thing I had to do after David posted was to look up the word Villanelle to see what the heck it meant. After reading the meaning of it it sounded like we should SAVE our brain power and just let our little mini poetries come naturally as they have been. (but you guys go ahead and have at it if you want)

Thanks to DAVE we've enriched our vocabulary. Now all I need is to find an occasion to drop "Villanelle" into a casual conversation.

I have to admit that I did not look it up until now; and was thinking with the word ending in elle it was a female, and word cape being used, made me think we were talking about a female villain, that lived in some secret lair, like Batman's Bat CAVE.

Perhaps it will be a female villain who lives on a boat, that is anchored in a secluded cove

The aforementionned cove is only accessible to those that know the secret CODE.

Where she may have been seen, after taking the sailboat out of the cove, flying through the air with her cape blowing in the wind as she DOVE from the upper most mast which was her MODE of practicing her flying abilities.

EDIT: Susan beat my post so had to change dove to a new word to match Susan's
