I shut my eyes and all the words drop dead;

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red
And arbitrary darkness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead

The poem Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath uses the following form:

  • B) villanelle

Villanelle is a poetic form that has a very distinct structure. As opposed to a sonnet which consists of fourteen lines (three quatrains and a couplet), villanelle is made up of nineteen lines. It has five tercets (three lines) which are followed by a quatrain (four lines). This poetic form has a fixed verse form, and there are refrains - in this case the lines:  

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead

and

(I think I made you up inside my head)

which are repeated throughout the poem.
