The X-Factor?

The X-Factor?

A Poem by Lair Noir
"

A cynical view of the X-Factor written in a Villanelle structure, a pretty complex structure which follows a distinctive pattern of rhyme and repetition, look it up if you aren't sure.

The X-Factor?


He’s such a talented singer.
(Have we been watching the same show?)
I’m going to vote for him, so he’s the winner.

Such dreamy eyes, what a charmer
(The man sings and looks like a crow)
He’s such a talented singer.

His smile couldn’t be any wider
(A crow-beak, no?)
I’m going to vote for him, so he’s the winner.

He’s got a great fashion sense, killer!
(Killer? Crows can learn to sew)
He’s such a talented singer.

I like him, does that make me a sinner?
(Yes, and you know)
I’m going to vote for him, so he’s the winner.

You’re just jealous, loser.
(Yeah, that was a real kick down below)
He’s such a talented singer.
I’m going to vote for him, so he’s the winner.
