Example of a Villanelle Generated with PoetAI
In the depths of labors unending sway,
Their hearts and minds consumed by constant toil,
Fictional characters lost in work's fierce fray.
Obsession took hold without much delay,
No respite sought on any foreign soil,
In the depths of labors unending sway.
Their eyes fixed firmly on that fleeting day,
When gold watches and farewell speeches coil,
Fictional characters lost in work's fierce fray.
The fire burned bright, in hearts it did play,
Yet shadows crept in moments of turmoil,
In the depths of labors unending sway.
Retirement's dawn, the light of a new day,
A chance to break free from the chains they coil,
Fictional characters lost in work's fierce fray.
With farewell gaze, they bid work's realm, "Nay!"
Embracing life's treasures, their hearts now foil,
In the depths of labors unending sway,
Fictional characters lost in work's fierce fray.
