"I'll just Dash off a Villanelle," she thought.

Villanelles are hard.
Especially if I am not good at rhyming.
Especially if the word I need to rhyme for is "exactness."

Why do I pick the hardest ones for me? As if poetry wasn't masochistic enough a discipline already.

The only thing I came up with was a family made-up word "perzactness", which you could spell with an x instead of the z, since it's made up. Means pretty much the same as "exactness".

I have no other help to offer but that and well wishes. Sorry!
