With that Dreadful Iron Hook

No one forgives the things you took,
The sweetness and innocence of many a young boy,
With that Dreadful Iron hook.

The frightening men to you look,
To be their envoy,
With that dreadful iron hook.

Kidnap an Indian princess and he will go look,
He will come to you, a perfect ploy.
No one forgives the things you took.

A ticking crocodile comes and you are shook.
You know he’d pick bones from his teeth with joy,
With that Dreadful Iron hook.

Seeing anger and hurt like words in a book,
Making it hatred and vengeance while looking so coy,
No one forgives the things you took.

The worst thing stolen by this crook,
The only mother of a poor lost boy.
No one forgives the things you took,
With that dreadful iron hook.


I chose to write a villanelle about Captain Hook from the story Peter Pan. I am very knowledgable about the story of Peter Pan I love the books, movies, plays, and the history of the story so I thought it would be an easy topic to use. Never have I written a villanelle before, so I thought it would be interesting to try. In choosing to write a villanelle I wanted to be easy on myself and choose an end word that would be wasy to rhyme. Hook can give away the identity of the character I'm describing while making it easy for me to follow the style.
