Villainy poisons, corrupts,erupts
It kills and maims and shames.
So i wonder why I feel
That if i did not know it's meaning
The word villainy i would find quite pleasing
The short vowels that act as a string of pearls, mellifluously sliding into water
The ells in the core that sound as two small fingers dipped in honey, gently gliding over smoothest glass
If i were ignorant to the meaning i would perhaps guess that villainy,
Were a romantic vine crawln up a tree
Or a pretty girl with poetic eyes
It seems absurd that such an ugly word
Has such romantic sound

This is very pretty. Have you read This Is All, The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn?
