As the title suggests, I want your formal poetry.

I'm currently writing a book dedicated to verse form and would like too extend it to other poets on this forum. I'm looking for at least one piece in the forms listed below. I Can't offer payment, but I can offer a free copy of the finished book. Your piece must be previously unpublished and your own work (to avoid copyright issues and other problems). All credit will be given to the contributing poet -- your piece will not be critiqued, but may be deconstructed and/or analysed in order to illustrate how it was written. Simply provide a link to the poem, or PM it to me. I'll update the list regularly so check back if you don't see your favoured form:

Ballad
Ballade
Ode
Sicilian Quartina
Terzanelle
Villanelle
Rondeau
Chaucerian Roundel
Standard Roundel
Rondel
Sestina/sextain
Domino Rhyme
Lai
Virelai
Triolet

Thanks to everyone in advance.

I offer this triolet:
Conflicted

and this is a light verse ballad meter:
On the Virtues of "Good" or "Fine"

You didn't mention sonnets, but on the chance you need another...
On Sunset

If you don't get enough villanelles, I've got a couple, one light verse one on this site. Oh, and why not one in the rondel/rondeau family (not sure which one this is):
Hunter Licked Me

Best regards,
NDG

Thank you both very much! On sonnets, I have enough of those (I've written over 700 in my time...).

I'll be reading your rondel/rondeau with great interest.
